Hi everyone,

Listed a set of single highest graded copies of many Smurfs first appearances on Heritage Auctions' October 12 - 13 International Comic Art Signature® Auction !

Spirou 1071 - First appearance of the Smurfs - CGC 9.6 single highest graded copy – Belgium Edition

Spirou 1072 - Second appearance of the Smurfs and 1st cover - CGC 9.6 single highest graded copy – Belgium edition

Spirou 1107 - First solo Smurfs story in the excessively rare uncut “Les Schtroumpfs Noirs” (The Black Smurfs) loose supplement - CGC 9.4 single highest graded copy - French edition (not mentioned on the label) – Only copy on census regardless of the edition.

 This is a one-of-a-kind piece since those 1959 loose supplement are excessively hard to find in their original uncut form since readers were instructed to cut and staple the supplement (and back cover) to make a mini-comic book… When reprinted, this zombie-like story was recolored and renamed the Purple Smurfs for the United States market.

Spirou 1130 - First appearance of Gargamel & Azrael in the excessively rare uncut “Le Voleur de Schtroumpfs” supplement – CGC 9.4 single highest graded copy - Belgium edition and only copy in the census given the rarity of the uncut supplement.

 Again, one-of-a-kind piece since those 1959 loose supplement are excessively hard to find in their original uncut form since readers were instructed to cut and staple the supplement to make a mini-comic book… This story was reprinted in the United States as the Smurfsnapper.

Spirou 1460 - First appearance of the Smurfette - CGC 9.0 highest graded copy - French edition
