We Are the Smurfs 01: Welcome to Our Village!

This new Smurfs comic series focuses on emotional learning, social responsibility, and overall Smurf-iness! Join Papa Smurf, Brainy Smurf, Smurfette, and all the others as they tackle day-to-day problems and get into wacky hijinks! Except for Scaredy Smurf, who is too afraid of everything to have fun. And Clumsy Smurf, whose two left feet get him into more troubles than he can count.

Pierre Culliford, better known as Peyo, was a cartoonist born in Belgium in 1928 and creator of The Smurfs. In 1958, the Smurfs made their first appearance in Le Journal de Spirou and went on to become the world-famous characters we all know and love! Thierry Culliford is a screenwriter, coordinator of the graphic execution of Grandir avec les Schtroumpfs (“Growing with the Smurfs”), and none other than Peyo’s son! Born in Belgium in 1955, Thierry is the successor of his father’s pen name, scripting stories for the newer Smurf comics, and ensuring the continuity of his late father’s works.
