The Smurfs Vol 20

If you're trying to make a healthy start to the New Year, wait until you see the Smurfs tackle the medical profession! When one Smurf steps up as doctor he starts a fever-for more doctors! Soon, a hospital is built in the Smurf Village and it rapidly fills up with all sorts of wacky cases. But how much help are these new doctors actually giving their patients? As usual, only Papa Smurf can provide the remedy for the latest Smurfs craze. It's another classic Smurfs adventure from master cartoonist Peyo.

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 Papa Smurf tries to make a new fertilizer for the crops, it transforms an ordinary flower into a dangerous "smurfivore plant." When two Smurfs try to get rid of the fertilizer by dumping it outside the Smurf village, a bird swallows it and becomes a huge monster—The Howlibird! Now, the Smurfs must figure out how to defeat the monster and save their village.

The most recognizable, appealing, blue characters in comics return in this new series from Papercutz. This debut volume introduces us to the Smurf village, and features two Smurf-tastic stories. In “The Purple Smurf,” when a strange fly bites one of the Smurfs, a full-on epidemic develops in the Smurf Village. After being bit, a Smurf turns purple, his vocabulary is reduced to one word (“gnap!”), and he goes berserk! The purple Smurf runs amok, biting other Smurfs on the tail and turning them purple too! It’s up to Papa Smurf to find a cure. “The Flying Smurf” features the inspiring tale of a Smurf with a dream ? to fly!

One of the most dramatic Smurfs adventures ever begins with the animals fleeing the forest because of a deadly forest fire. The Smurfs attempt to extinguish the fire, but after several attempts fail, Papa Smurf makes a selfless decision to blow up the Smurf Dam. It succeeds in putting out the fire, but destroys the Smurf Village and all of Farmer Smurf’s crops. The Smurfs travel north to another part of the forest to procure food, but while they’re away, their nemesis, Gargamel stumbles upon the wreckage of the Smurfs Village. Gargamel concludes the Smurfs must’ve relocated, and that wonders if he’ll ever see the Smurfs again. But the Smurfs do return to their village and are startled to see Gargamel’s footprints. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the Smurfs sense they are being watched—and they are!

There's a blue girl in town! ...And her name is Smurfette! When a Smurf happens upon a dress-wearing, long-haired Smurf in the forest, he has no idea what kind of trouble he has stumbled upon--he's just encountered The Smurfette! As soon as he brings her back to the village, things start to go horribly wrong! But after Smurfette gets a makeover from Papa Smurf, the future of all Smurfkind is in jeopardy! ALSO: See what happens when famine hits the Smurf Village in "The Hungry Smurfs"!

All is not well with the Smurfs. Someone wants to build a wall around the Smurfs' Village! When Papa Smurf observes that his Smurfs are fighting with each other, he decides something needs to be done about it, and that’s when the trouble starts. Papa Smurf creates negative versions of the Smurfs. They’re just like the regular Smurfs, except their clothes are a little darker and they don’t have any of the good qualities of the real Smurfs. For example, a black-haired Smurfette has all of Smurfette’s bad habits, and none of what’s good about Smurfette! When the Smurfs meet the so-called “Grey Smurfs,” they want to be friends. But the Grey Smurfs are only interested in going to war against the Smurfs, conquering them, and turning them all into their slaves. Can Papa Smurf fix this mess he created?
