The Smurfs Archives Vol. 5 continues its mission to present Peyo’s Smurfs stories in order of their original publishing date. This volume features stories and content that have 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 originally published in French from 1989 to 1992. This publication was a mix of comics, illustrated text stories, games, articles, and DIY educational pieces such as craft instructions and recipes. Schtroumpf strived to entertain fans from a very smurfy perspective.

Featuring a wealth of content that has never been published in English alongside classic material, The Smurfs Archives Vol. 5 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 offers brand-new introductions and commentary, alongside never-before-seen Peyo art that adds historical context and insight to this beautiful hardcover collection. This edition is sure to make everyone’s must-smurf list.
