Zantafio [SEP] present in work
Zantafio
Zantafio is a recurring fictional antagonist in the "Spirou et Fantasio" comic book series. He was created by André Franquin and first appeared in "Spirou et les héritiers" (1952). Zantafio bears a strong resemblance to Fantasio, because they are cousins. In "Le dictateur et le champignon" (1953), he is a South-American dictator of the fictional country Palombia.
Character evolution.
Zantafio first appears at an inheritance contest, arrogant and in debt. He and Fantasio are the
behind sedated, the abducted policeman Jérôme, who awoke and went on a stunning spree. After the ordeal of pacifying the rogue zorglman and restoring the people of Champignac to normal, time passes until Zorglub's sinister schemes again become evident. Without remorse (despite the conscience-burdened act during the conclusion of "Z comme Zorglub") Zorglub continues to work for world domination from Palombia, with increased ambition, and allied with Fantasio's evil nemesis cousin Zantafio.
