Story edit

In Glucose for Noémie, the story continues where Le champignon nippon of the previous album left off. Ito Kata, a well-known Japanese conjuror, has entrusted Spirou and Fantasio with a special mushroom which he wants them to take back to their friend the Count of Champignac, a leading mycologist. The mushroom is also coveted by the Triangle, a SPECTRE-like, world-spanning criminal organization.

Having escaped the Triangle's agents, Spirou and Fantasio stand stunned at Tokyo airport when they find the parcel they were transporting empty...

In A False Departure, Spip is determined to run away from home.

Background edit

This album offers no explanation of Marsupilami's sudden absence (see Le faiseur d'or).

Ito Kata would become a regular secondary character during Fournier's run on the series.
