Didier Conrad (Illustrator) Rene Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926, and spent most of his childhood in Argentina, before eventually moving to Paris in 1951. He died in 1977. Albert Uderzo was born in 1927 in a small village in Marne, France. He met Rene Goscinny in 1951 and on 29 October 1959 their most famous creation, Asterix, made his first appearance on page 20 of Pilote. ASTERIX THE GAUL, their first album, was published in 1961. Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad began writing and illustrating Asterix in 2013 with ASTERIX AND THE PICTS. There have now been 38 albums.
An energetic story with some very bad/good jokes, and just enough
silly Roman-bashing, it's just the sort of thing we Asterix fans
love
*THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY on Asterix and the Missing Scroll*
...the transition to new author/illustrator is seamless with all
the best points of the originals faithfully reproduced. [...]
Brilliantly written and illustrated; a worthy successor.
*Parents in Touch*
...an easy, funny, packed read. It looks great, it never bored me
for even a second, and it even made me laugh out loud a few
times.
*Pipeline Comics*
...furiously funny and hilariously jam-packed with timeless jibes
and cracking contemporary swipes, plus an enchanting
double-surprise ending. Asterix and the Chariot Race is a sure win
and another triumphant addition to the mythic canon for
laugh-seekers in general and all devotees of comics.
