About This Book
"The Smurfs'' eternal arch foe, the evil wizard Gargamel, is the center of attention in several Smurf-stories: ""Gargamel and the Crocodile,"" features Gargamel''s attempts to raise a pet crocodile, much to Azrael''s chagrin; Gourmelin, ""Gargamel''s Twin Brother"" also stops by for a visit; a very hungry fellow returns and demands Gargamel to feed him in ""The Ogre and the Smurfs;"" a very noisy bird keeps makes Gargamel''s life difficult in ""The Smurfs and the Booglooboo;"" then there''s ""Gargamel''s Nephews"" who look like three pint-size Gargamels, who stir up some trouble when they visit their uncle; and just when you think you''ve met all of Gargamel''s look-alike relatives, ""Sagratamabarb"" shows up and wants to move next door to his cousin Gargamel! And if all that wasn''t enough, there are dozens of gag-filled Smurfs comic strips, another adventure of Johan, in which the gallant court page must battle ""The Master of Roucybeuf,"" and an action-packed Benny Breakiron epic where the tiny, super-powered French boy encounters ""Madame Adolphine,"" a seeming harmless little old lady, who apparently is behind a major criminal caper!"
