1968, Belgian Comics: Prudence Petitpas, Fusils pour Macao

In 1968 Le Lombard released Fusils pour Macao, the fourth album in the Prudence Pepitas comic series. The volume contains both the title story and the short story Stanislas a disparu. The series was created in 1957 by Maurice Maréchal and was first serialised in the youth magazine Tintin / Kuifje. The scripts were written by several writers, including René Goscinny, Greg and Mittéï. In 1968, Maréchal brought the series to an end because he could no longer combine his comics work with his position as a French and Spanish teacher at the Royal Atheneum of Verviers. Shortly before his retirement, he met Charles Dupuis, the publisher of the magazine Spirou / Robbedoes. Their meeting inspired Maréchal to return to the character, and between 1984 and 1987 a further five Prudence Pepitas stories were published in the magazine.

Dutch Cover: Tante Zenobie, Wapens voor Macao

Prudence Petitpas is an elderly lady who lives in the small market town of Moucheron, a fictional village inspired by the real-life setting of Sauveterre-de-Rouergue, located between Albi and Rodez. It was a place where Maurice Maréchal spent a month of his summer holidays every year. There, the heroine devotes most of her time to solving a wide variety of mysterious crimes and baffling cases, using her keen powers of observation and deduction to unravel even the most perplexing enigmas.

The principal characters featured in this album are Prudence Petitpas, her cat Stanislas, a group of gangsters, a pilot, the gang leader, Marie, Verwater, Count Bonestaak, and Caesar, the village constable.
