Description
When Gargamel meets a giant with an insatiable appetite, he comes up with a plan to use the giant to destroy the Smurfs: tell him that Smurfs make the most delicious soup in the world!
Papa Smurf catches wind of the plot and begins to create a potion that will enable them to turn the giant, nicknamed Bigmouth, against Gargamel. But when Bigmouth stumbles into the Smurfs' village, the potion isn't ready, and the Smurfs must distract the hungry giant, or meet an untimely end inside its belly.
The Smurfs #13 by Peyo and Yvan Delporte is a thrilling tale of wit and survival, where the Smurfs must use every clever trick at their disposal to avoid becoming a giant's meal.

About the Author
PIERRE CULLIFORD, born in Belgium in 1928, was the cartoonist known as Peyo. Peyo began his career working with some of Belgium's most talented cartoonists, including his lifelong writing partner Yvan Delporte. In 1958, The Smurfs made their first appearance and went on to become the world-famous characters we know and love today.
Yvan Delporte is a Belgian comics writer, and was editor-in-chief of Spirou magazine between 1955 and 1968 during a period considered by many the golden age of Franco-Belgian comics. He is credited with several creative contributions, among these his collaborations with Peyo on The Smurfs, with René Follet on Steve Severin (1/2) and André Franquin with the creation of Gaston Lagaffe and the co-authorship of Idées noires.
