Description

Join the Smurfs on their hunt for a fountain full of Smurftastic strength and other tales!

The Smurfs and friends are after the fountain of strength in this latest installment of THE SMURF TALES! After discovering an old book telling the tale of an adventurous Smurf gaining extraordinary strength after bathing in a fabled spring, the Smurfs decide to find the source for themselves. And, as a special bonus, also from Peyo, the creator of THE SMURFS, we present a story from the strongest little French boy and never-before-published-in-the-USA whodunnit, Benny Breakiron. This graphic novel series is a perfect tie-in opportunity with the all-new SMURFS animated series on Nickelodeon!
