Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #76

In this wild 2003 issue of Toyfare: The Toy Magazine, a misfired experiment turns the Smurfs into ravenous zombies, plunging the village into chaos. As Jokey’s prank bomb backfires and Hefty falls victim, Papa Smurf leads the desperate fight—only to be overrun. With Azrael’s fate sealed and Gargamel closing in, Brainy and Smurfette flee to a mysterious castle, where Harmony offers sanctuary. But with Smurfette captured and the surviving Smurfs now under Brainy’s control, the line between salvation and surrender blurs. Written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, Zach Oat, Justin Aclin, Adam Patyk, Jon Gutierrez, Matt Senreich, and Doug Goldstein, this surreal, high-stakes tale blends absurd humor with creeping dread—perfect for fans of offbeat Smurf adventures.
