Comic Classics

12 questions · Games & Comics

Long before superheroes conquered the cinemas, comics lived in slim booklets, newspaper strips and thick collected albums and their characters have accompanied some families into a third generation. Whether cheeky Gauls, waddling ducks or philosophising children, these classics have made the whole world smile for decades and shaped what we understand as the art of comics today. Their homelands stretch from the Belgian and French albums of Europe to the newspaper pages of America. This pack gathers the most timeless among them: recognise Asterix, the little Gaul with the magic potion, Tintin on his travels around the world, the miserly Scrooge McDuck and his hapless nephew Donald Duck, the lonesome cowboy Lucky Luke, the blue Smurfs, the lasagne-loving cat Garfield, the thoughtful Peanuts around Charlie Brown, the clever duo Calvin and Hobbes, the chivalrous Prince Valiant, the icon Mickey Mouse and the spinach-loving sailor Popeye: recognise them by their adventures, their humour and the lines that long ago became family treasures.
