The Smurfs #25: The Gambling Smurfs

Description

Celebrating over 60 years of SMURFS, Papercutz is all in continuing its long winning streak of SMURFS graphic novels. With an all-new animated TV series in the works, Papercutz continues to double-down and publish THE SMURFS comics that started it all. Here in "The Gambling Smurfs" we see the consequences of what happens after the Smurfs visit the Human world and are inspired to try their little blue hands at games of chance. It starts as just a fun new hobby, but when the stakes are raised, the Smurfs fall into a vicious cycle of playing, betting, and losing, and playing again. Has the Smurfs Village become the new Sin City? It's no big surprise that Gargamel is also around to take advantage of this unfortunate situation. Has Gargamel's luck finally changed? Have the Smurfs finally lost?

Peyo created The Smurfs in his comic strip "Johan And Peewit." He wrote and drew several extremely popular comic series in Europe throughout his storied career. In 2008 the country of Belgium celebrated what would have been his 80th birthday by issuing a 5 Euro coin featuring his creation, The Smurfs.
