Description
In "The Smurf Apprentice" by Peyo, a young Smurf who is eager to become an apprentice ignores Papa Smurf's advice to wait until he is older. The young Smurf steals a page from Gargamel's spell book and creates a potion in hopes of transforming himself into a being more like Papa Smurf. Instead, the potion turns him into a monstrous lizard. This is the eighth book in the Smurfs graphic novel series.
