Featuring stories and content that has never been published in English alongside classic material. Following the massive cultural breakthrough of THE SMURFS brand in the 1980s, Peyo began to personally oversee the publication of SCHTROUMPF, a monthly magazine that was originally published in French from 1989 to 1992. A mix of comics, illustrated text stories, games, articles, and DIY educational pieces (such as craft instructions and recipes), SCHTROUMPF strove to entertain fans in every aspect of the word - from a very smurfy perspective. Featuring a wealth of content that has never been published in English alongside classic material, SMURFS ARCHIVES VOLUME FIVE begins the journey through the first era of “SCHTROUMPF MAG”– a wondrous trip previously unfamiliar to many fans worldwide, and a fresh experience for those who may not have seen these stories since their first publication decades ago. Legendary Smurfologist, Matt Murray, smurfs a brand-new introductions and commentary alongside never-before-seen Peyo art that adds historical context and insight to this beautiful hardcover collection that is sure to make everyone’s must-smurf list.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWritten by:  \u003c\/b\u003eRobert Kirkman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist by:  \u003c\/b\u003ePeyo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCover Artist by:  \u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Ottley, John Rauch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Papercutz","offers":[{"title":"Approx.
