Spirou et l'aventure, written and drawn by Jijé, is the first published album containing Spirou et Fantasio adventures. The 6 featured stories were produced during and after World War II, and serialised in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Le journal de Spirou (Spirou magazine) during this unusual period. They were assembled and published as a hardcover album in 1948 and feature the first appearances of Fantasio.

Contains the stories:

• Le meeting aérien (1943)
• Autour du monde avec le pilote rouge (1944)
• Le voyage dans le temps (1944–45)
• L'enlèvement de Spip (1945)
• La jeep de Fantasio (1945–46)
• Fantasio et le Fantôme (1946)

These stories are considered Jijé's 4th-9th Spirou stories, independent of the work when he functioned as a collaborator on the earliest work by Rob-Vel.

This collection is not regarded among the regular series as it had limited publication, and some of the original plates are thought to be lost.^[1]

Two of the stories, La jeep de Fantasio and Fantasio et le Fantôme were later published in the "hors-séries" albums, HS2 Radar le robot and HS4 Fantasio et le fantôme et 4 autres aventures.
