Meet Smurfette by Peyo
This storybook based on the classic Smurfs tells the story of how Smurfette came to Smurf Village. It all begins when the evil wizard Gargamel creates Smurfette from a piece of blue clay. Then he tells her to lure the Smurfs into a trap After all, the Smurfs have never seen a Smurfette before. But Gargamel doesn't bargain on the Smurfs showing Smurfette what being a good Smurf is all aboutPIERRE CULLIFORD, born in Belgium June 25, 1928, was a cartoonist known as Peyo. We can consider ourselves lucky! After Peyo left school in Brussels, he looked in the paper for a job. Two caught his eye: offers for a dental assistant and an illustrator. When he presented himself to the dentist, he was told he was just 15 minutes too late! At the time, Belgium was a hothouse of comic strip artists. Peyo quickly found himself working with some of the most talented, amongst them characters such as his lifelong writing partner Yvan Delporte.
After struggling for some time, he eventually got the break he deserved when he started working for Le Journal de Spirou. Johan and Peewit were amongst his most popular characters. But in 1958, the Smurfs made their first appearance and went on to become the world-famous characters we now know. Although most cartoon characters are known through their books before becoming TV characters, the opposite was true of the Smurfs in North America.
Papercutz is proud to bring the original Smurfs comics back into print in North America. The United States has finally caught up with the rest of the world in recognizing that comics are a true art form, and that the Smurfs graphic novels are classics. Between the release of the SMURFS graphic novels and two new feature films, the Smurfs are ready to conquer North America all over again! And that's just smurfy!
