Astérix

From 1980 to 2021, Éditions Albert René published fifteen new adventures of the indomitable Gauls, spanning the post-Goscinny era where Albert Uderzo took over as both writer and artist before later handing the series to Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad. This run continues the beloved saga of Astérix, Obélix, and the villagers of their fortified Armorican hamlet—including chief Abraracourcix, bard Assurancetourix, and blacksmith Cétautomatix—as they resist Roman occupation with wit, magic potion, and plenty of slapstick. It matters as the definitive continuation of one of the world’s most popular comic series, maintaining its signature blend of historical parody and pun-filled humor across decades of shifting creative hands.
