Stories of the Smurfs #10
In "The Smurfs and the Howlibird," a misfired potion from Papa Smurf spirals out of control when a curious bird ingests the residue, transforming into a colossal, chaotic creature that threatens the Smurf village. Written by Anthea Bell, Derek Hockridge, and Peyo, with art and inks by Peyo, this 1980 classic from Hodder & Stoughton delivers whimsical chaos with a touch of peril. The cover, also by Peyo, captures the moment the Howlibird takes flight in all its oversized, uproarious glory.
