Behind the scenes

 * Azrael's first comic appearance was in the story "Le Voleur de schtroumpf" ("The Smurfnapper" in English), created by Peyo and published by Dupuis in 1959.
 * By coincidence, Azrael is to Gargamel like what Muttley is to Dick Dastardly, as both duos were voiced by the same voice actors (Don Messick and Paul Winchell).
