Spirou Album #167

This 1983 Dupuis collection packs a generous 676 pages of humor and adventure — "schtroumpfantes" as the cover cheerfully declares — making it a wonderfully substantial read. The cover features Smurfette and a smitten male Smurf sharing a sweet romantic moment, with hearts floating between them, while Gargamel and his cat Azrael lurk mischievously in the upper corner. It's a charming snapshot of the lighthearted spirit that made Spirou albums such a beloved part of Franco-Belgian comics culture in 1983.
