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!
