Marbles and marble games in comic books!


Recommended Posts

I thought this could be an interesting topic. Let me start with Benoît Brisefer by Pierre "Peyo" Culliford.
Benoît Brisefer was a character that Peyo created between 1960 and 1978, before he gained success with the Smurfs. Benoît is a boy, about 8-10 years old and what sets him apart from other people is his abnormal physical strength. I think seven albums were translated into Swedish. Here Benoît is playing marbles in the album "Le cirque Bodoni" and the marble pyramid is unfortunately pulverized by his shot.

Another Benoît Brisefer. He is called "Starke Staffan" in Swedish, which translates to "Strong Staffan" or "Staffan the strong". :)

First frame: He is, in short, a boy like many others...
- Now I'm going to play marbles! Great fun!

Second frame: .... but with a very important difference...

Third frame: Staffan (Benoît) is strong!
