About the series
In the long-running Belgian series De Smurfen (1963–1988), the tiny blue creatures of the same name live in a hidden mushroom village, navigating whimsical adventures and conflicts with the bumbling wizard Gargamel. Published by Dupuis across 13 issues, the series was primarily written and drawn by Peyo, who created the Smurfs as supporting characters in another comic before launching their own title. Its enduring charm and imaginative world-building made it a cornerstone of European comics, introducing a playful, slice-of-life fantasy that has delighted generations of readers.
