Issue #4101

Issue 4101 of the weekly Spirou magazine, dated November 16, 2016, opened the first full story arc of Frnck, 'Le Debut du commencement,' by artist Brice Cossu and writer Olivier Bocquet. The story centers on a present-day orphan named Franck who is thrown back to prehistoric times, where he encounters the earliest humans and a talking dinosaur. After a run of short strips in earlier issues, this number began the serialized adventure that Dupuis later collected as albums.
