Smurfs #3 VF 8.0 1983 Stock Image

Grade VF 8.0 Year 1983 Publisher Marvel

This is a mid grade item. It will have a few minor defects and will generally appear to be in \"slightly used\" but not \"roughly used\" condition. Most comics, magazines, and books published in the past 30 years that have been read but carefully handled and stored will fall in this grade range. Allowed defects for this grade include: minor corner wear (bends and blunting), a light accumulation of spine wear that may include color-breaking stresses, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less than one quarter inch in length. Some color breaking is allowed in a bend or fold in this grade range.

Description

Note about \"Newsstand\" vs \"Direct\" editions: some comics printed during this time period were published for sale in both the direct market (comic stores) and at newsstand locations such as grocery stores or convenience stores. In many cases, the only difference between the two versions is the presence of either a barcode or small logo where the barcode would otherwise be. Most collectors consider both versions to be of equal value. If the only difference is the presence of the logo or the barcode, we do not distinguish between newsstand or direct editions, so it is possible that the comic you receive could have a barcode even if our listing image shows a logo, or vice versa.

In cases where there is a significant difference between the newsstand and direct editions, such as one having a foil cover, different color scheme, or other clear variation, we will list the newsstand and direct editions as two separate listings and they will be clearly labeled as such, so you will be able to select which version you want.

Cover art by Peyo (Pierre Culliford). \"Monster Smurf,\" script and art by Peyo (Pierre Culliford); Papa Smurf plays a prank on Jokey that causes his surprises to turn the other Smurfs into monsters when opened; When Jokey turns to Papa Smurf for a way to restore his fellow Smurfs to normal, Papa Smurf has Jokey promise that he would never play a prank on his fellow Smurfs again; That lasts only until the Smurfs get bored of Jokey not playing his pranks on them. \"I\'ve Got Your Picture on My Smurf\" one-page story, script and art by Peyo (Pierre Culliford). \"On the Smurf Day of Christmas\" one-page story, script and art by Peyo (Pierre Culliford). \"Smurf Ball,\" script and art by Peyo (Pierre Culliford); Handy Smurf devises a way for Hefty to play smurfball all by himself without hurting any other Smurf; However, he accidentally brings Gargamel into the village, and so Papa Smurf must send the evil wizard away by using a magic item that hypnotizes people. Adaptation of the 1981 Hanna-Barbera TV series based on the characters created by Belgian cartoonist Pierre \"Peyo\" Culliford (in 1958). 36 pgs., full color.
