About the series
Peyo’s Johan en Pirrewiet ran from 1954 to 1970 at Dupuis, a medieval fantasy series that helped establish the cartoonist as a major talent in Franco-Belgian comics. Spanning 13 issues, it follows the adventures of a young page and his loyal friend, building a richly detailed world of chivalry and magic. The series is best remembered as the proving ground where Peyo introduced the beloved Smurfs, making it a foundational work for one of comics’ most iconic creations.
