Character.
Bibi Fricotin is a young boy who goes on exotic adventures that make him travel across the world. The series was drawn by Louis Forton from 1924 until his death in 1934. Two years later Gaston Callaud continued the comic until the outbreak of World War II. The volumes he drew, numbers 8 to 12, are nowadays lost and highly sought by collectors. After the liberation, in 1947, Pierre Lacroix continued the series. He gave Bibi a sidekick: the black boy Razibus Zouzou, whom Bibi met in the story "Bibi Fricotin nouveau Robinson" (1950). Lacroix was assisted by writers such as Maric, René Lortac and Roland De Montaubert and drew the series until 1988.
Film adaptation.
The series was popular enough to spawn a movie adaptation in 1950: "Bibi Fricotin".
