De Smurfen #40

A fierce winter storm has descended on Smurf Village, and this 2021 entry in the long-running Belgian series captures all the wintry drama right on the cover — Papa Smurf and several fellow Smurfs battle through deep, swirling snowdrifts while their cozy mushroom-shaped house stands blanketed in white behind them. "De Witte Storm" (The White Storm) promises an adventure rooted in the kind of elemental, nature-versus-village tension that makes these little blue characters so endlessly appealing. Standaard Uitgeverij delivers another beautifully rendered chapter that fans of all ages will want to add to their shelves.
