The fathers of Asterix and Obelix

With super powers against the Romans
If wild Gauls meet the Romans, it’s the real thing. Most like Obelix would beat an entire garrison alone. Around the world you will laugh about these stories. Just not in the USA. There, the image of the eternal resistance fighter isn’t all that popular, has observed signatory Didier Conrad. Therefore, the Asterix books are not selling so well.

With 90 years a Geriatrix
In April 2017 Uderzo with his Comic-Greis, moved to the village elder Geriatrix, and celebrated his 90. Birthday.

Asterix in Italy, directly in Caesar’s neighbourhood
In Italy, as the Romans are. This is not entirely correct. It is the indigenous people are still there – the italics. The brace clubs against Caesar’s efforts, the country was under Roman rule and want to keep your Unabhängigheit. Clearly, the Gaulish warriors Asterix and Obelix have to look at your brothers in a spirit of times past… The last volume appeared in 2017.

Bow
In January 2015 the editorial team of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo terrorists was attacked, killed twelve people, including four of the signatories. Uderzo bowed with this drawing in front of his dead colleagues. This gesture is particularly poignant when you know the Asterix stories, and otherwise character-based laughs.

According to surveys, 99 percent of the German Asterix. No Wonder. In the last 50 years, the German 370 million Asterix have bought books – that’s a third of the world’s total circulation. 18. December 1968 appeared the first volume in English. And this is now being celebrated with an anniversary edition from now on, thicker than a “normal” book, and for collectors, of course, a Must: Here the success story of the Galli will be warrior once more redrawn.
The first adventure led to the Asterix, his full-figured friend Obelix (“I’m not thick. Just a little chunky.”) and the little dog dogmatix directly in the neighborhood of your small village. It is surrounded by Roman garrisons, and does not want to bend to the will of Rome.
The druid Getafix in the preparation of the magic Potion
A mysterious potion that gives them superhuman powers will help the villagers. The Romans want to find the recipe, kidnap the druid Getafix and want to elicit by means of tickle-torture the secret. Asterix sneaks into the camp, caught and also tortured. Then, Getafix gives up his secret. The Romans believe. However, the magic potion that you drink, giving huge powers, but a mess in the warehouse…
In later folders Obelix eat the wild boar on the piece
A Prototype
If you compare the original band with the successor folders, you will immediately notice that cartoonist Albert Uderzo was at that time apparently still in the determination phase of his characters. The book acts as a prototype: The characters are drawn a little wooden, Obelix is wearing a crooked-shaped menhir, the druid lives in a forest cave and not in the village. The bard Cacofonix, the hanging traditionally at the end of gagged in a tree, sitting at the table and Obelix is a wild pig sick of it.
Great Output until Goscinny’s death
René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, while Signing
In France, the Asterix were issues since 1961 to the market, annually published one to three copies. From 1968, Germany moved to. Less it was only died in the 1980s: René Goscinny, the writing Partner of Uderzo 1977. Uderzo continued alone. However, the Asterix-Fans missing Goscinny Humor and wit. Nevertheless, each release of a new tape was a big thing, connected with proper marketing effort, and voltage: The content of a new Asterix book is held up to the publication of a secret.
New authors – new success
Scene from Asterix in Italy
At the beginning of the 2000s also Uderzo drew back; his last Band was “Asterix and the Actress” (2001) – and, in fact, no other Asterix should appear in the folder. So three “Spin-Offs came out not to 2013”, the fit really in the series of Asterix adventures.
Until 2012, two new authors to the stories – with the explicit blessing of Albert Uderzo: The first volume of Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad was called “Asterix and the Picts”and was released in October 2013. A full success. Copywriter Ferri has the old language joke of a Goscinny resurgence, Conrad’s drawings bear to the smallest Detail, the manuscript of Uderzo. 2017 is “Asterix in Italy,” the 37. Band appeared, and more are already announced.
