Page "Spirou (magazine)" Paragraph 6

In 1946 and 1947, the team was joined by some of the main contributors to Spirou for the next decades, with André Franquin, Victor Hubinon, Jean-Michel Charlier, Morris and Eddy Paape.

After a few years, they started their now classic series like Buck Danny by Hubinon and Charlier and Lucky Luke by Morris, while Franquin took over Spirou from Jijé.

Gradually, the American comics and reprints were replaced by new, European productions, and by the 50s, nearly all the content was made especially for the magazine.

Charles Dupuis remained editor-in-chief of the magazine until 1955 when he appointed Yvan Delporte to that position, so he could himself focus on his increasing interest in the publication of the magazine's series ' albums.
