Les Schtroumpfs

Thierry Culliford and Luc Parthoens took over writing duties for this long-running Le Lombard series, with artists including Alain Maury, Jeroen De Coninck, and Ludo Borecki bringing the tiny blue Smurfs to life. Launched in 1992, the series continues the classic adventures of Papa Smurf and his village, building on Peyo's original creation across 28 albums. It matters as the primary modern continuation of a beloved Belgian comic institution, keeping the whimsical spirit alive for new generations.
