A collection of all-new stories that see the Smurfs interacting with the many magical creatures who inhabit their enchanted land. Colorful adventures filled with kind monsters and wicked fairies!
An all-new collection featuring The Smurfs, and their friends! In this first volume Benny Breakiron returns in "The Red Taxi," Johan & Peewit embark on a never-before-seen adventure, and the Smurfs return with comic strips galore. This is a collection Peyo fans will not want to miss, and that will look great on any bookshelf.
The Smurfs’ eternal arch foe, the evil wizard Gargamel, is the center of attention in several Smurf-stories: “Gargamel and the Crocodile,” features Gargamel’s attempts to raise a pet crocodile, much to Azrael’s chagrin; Gourmelin, “Gargamel’s Twin Brother” also stops by for a visit; a very hungry fellow returns and demands Gargamel to feed him in “The Ogre and the Smurfs;” a very noisy bird keeps makes Gargamel’s life difficult in “The Smurfs and the Booglooboo;” then there’s “Gargamel’s Nephews” who look like three pint-size Gargamels, who stir up some trouble when they visit their uncle; and just when you think you’ve met all of Gargamel’s look-alike relatives, “Sagratamabarb” shows up and wants to move next door to his cousin Gargamel! And if all that wasn’t enough, there are dozens of gag-filled Smurfs comic strips, another adventure of Johan, in which the gallant court page must battle “The Master of Roucybeuf,” and an action-packed Benny Breakiron epic where the tiny, super-powered French boy encounters “Madame Adolphine,” a seeming harmless little old lady, who apparently is behind a major criminal caper!
When the Belgian cartoonist Peyo created a village of cute little woodland creatures for his heroes Johan and Peewit to discover, he couldn't have known that they would wildly outgrow those humble origins to become a worldwide phenomenon all on their own. More than 50 years later, The Smurfs continue to delight us all with their silliness, bravery, heroism, and heart, and now we finally have a definitive collection of Peyo's original comics to see where it all began. Newly remastered and presented in original publication order, along with a Smurfy collection of historical notes and photographs, this volume introduces us to Smurfette and features a Johan and Peewit story never before seen in the U.S.
Tired of being three-apples tall, Poet Smurf gets inspired to write the next Smurfs adventure where the Smurfs are the larger-than-life heroes who interact with a race of miniature people, the Pilus. But does size really matter? Find out in “The Giant Smurfs.” Plus: Join Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and the rest of the lovable blue smurfs for fun short comics stories showcasing the whole Smurfs Village. And, as a special bonus, also from Peyo, the creator of the Smurfs, we present a never-before-published-in-the-USA whodunnit as Benny Breakiron, the strongest little French Boy, investigates Lady d’Olphine and her connections with crime. THE SMURFS TALES graphic novel series is a perfect tie-in opportunity with the all-new SMURFS animated series on Nickelodeon!
The Smurfs have been unhappy with their meals lately as Chef Smurf keeps serving them up skimpy meals with a side of disappointment. When Chef Smurf suggests Papa Smurf to investigate the state of Farmer Smurf’s crops, they discover the root of the issue: the vegetables are wilted and stunted. But when Papa Smurf whips up a potion that works a bit too well, not even he can predict his Smurfs will smurf into vegetables! It’s attack of the Smurfing tomatoes as Smurf Village becomes one big farmer’s market. Will this turn into a food fight?
Smurf vs. Smurf and Smurf Soup get the Anthology treatment! While Papa Smurf works in his laboratory, two Smurfs begin arguing about the proper use of the word "smurf." Smurfs that live in the northern part of the village use it as a verb (as in "bottle smurfer"), while the southerners use it as a noun (as in "smurf opener"). Without Papa Smurf around to calm things down, the argument quickly escalates until the northern and southern smurfs divide themselves along the village lines! Plus, another never-before-seen Johan & Peewit comic, featuring the Smurfs!
When Natural Smurf, Slouchy Smurf, and Snappy Smurf arrive at The Smurfs village as The Smurflings, all their newfangled ideas start to turn things upside down. Whether it's back-talking Grouchy Smurf, outsmarting Jokey Smurf, wearing their own clothes, or making up their own music, it looks like nothing will ever be the same. But the biggest change is yet to come -- and it looks like Gargamel is behind it!
Stop the presses! Blue Journalism is coming to the Smurfs Village. When word of mouth stories get distorted being passed along from Smurf to Smurf, Reporter Smurf is on the scene to get the scoop and report the facts! But what happens when the newspaper airs the village’s dirty laundry for all to read? One reader is more than ready to believe what he sees in print…and his name is Gargamel!
