Smurfernas äventyr #7 [4:e u, 1980]

This 1980 Swedish Carlsen/if edition collects Smurf adventures under the title "Ägget och smurferna" ("The Egg and the Smurfs"), brought to life through the combined creative talents of Peyo, Yvan Delporte, Ingrid Emond, Gos, Lucien De Gieter, Nine Culliford, and Kjell Ekeberg. The cover, drawn and inked by Peyo himself, promises the cheerful, imaginative storytelling that made the Smurfs a beloved fixture of European comics. A fine addition to any Smurf collection, this fourth edition speaks to the enduring appeal these little blue characters had with Swedish readers in 1980.
