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. Newly remastered and presented in original publication order, along with a Smurfy collection of historical notes and photographs, the stories in these volumes introduce us to Papa Smurf, Gargamel, and the rest of the village in some of the most highly regarded comics the medium has ever known.
