Latest news: 10 September - New parents for Asterix
It is a hard decision for creators of a comic series: what to do when they retire (or worse). Some decide to stop the series completely, this is what happened in the case of TinTin. Other hand their pens and brushes to younger collegues so the series is continued. The future of Asterix has been discussed for a long time. Finally Albert Uderzo has chosen his successors. Drawings will be by Frédéric Mébatki while the scenario will be developed by Jean-Yves Ferri. Looking forward to the new stories! (10 September 11)

Asterix around the World - since 1995 Who is Asterix?

Asterix has become an institution in Europe, and a worldwide best seller. This heroic comic book character lives around 50 BC in a fictional Gaulish village in northwest Armorica. Together with his oversized, clumsy but good-hearted friend Obelix, he outwits Julius Caesar and his Roman Legions while preventing them from conquering their village. A recurring plot in most albums concerns the attempts by the Romans to steal the secret recipe of a potion that gives the drinker superhuman strength.
