ICECUBES in French!

Posted on August 6, 2025 by Leroy Brown

Recently, I sent an ICECUBES story to a French language comics magazine called “Spirou”.

Spirou-stroumpfs-smurfs — Spirou Magazine featuring the Smurfs.

Spirou is a classic cultural stalwart of European comics dating since before WWII. The magazine is perhaps most well known for premiering the world famous “SMURFS” along with other cherished European comics like “Lucky Luke” and “Gaston Lagaffe”. Spirou had an open call contest for a four page short story and I submitted an ICECUBES comic. While they did not select it to be published, it’s still fun to see the ICECUBES characters speaking French! You can download the entire story here, it makes for a good French lesson! >>
