Bookworm of Gensan loves The Smurfs (graphic novels)

The Smurfs

Next to the Disney and Pixar characters like Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang, my favorites also are the Smurfs, the little blue male creatures created by Belgian cartoonist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) on October 23, 1958. From comics, the Smurfs became a hit TV cartoon series in the 80s. Each Smurf portrays a specific human personality to which the readers and TV viewers can relate to.

This year in preparation for The Smurfs movie, Papercutz published The Smurfs graphic novels collecting the stories in several volumes (9 so far but 6 are currently available in the Philippines).  These graphic novels and the movie will surely introduce the Smurfs to a new generation of fans.

Volume 1: The Purple Smurfs, The Flying Smurf, The Smurf and His Neighbors

Volume 2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute

Volume 3: The Smurf King, The Smurfony

Volume 4: The Smurfette, The Hungry Smurfs

Volume 5: The Smurfs and the Egg, The Fake Smurf, The Hundredth Smurf

Volume 6: The Smurfs and the Howlibird, The Smurf Express, You can't Smurf in the way of Progress
