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 and there have now been 38 Asterix albums, the 39th to come in October 2021.
The latest action-packed adventure from our indomitable Gauls, Asterix and the Griffin, is out now!
A woman bard in Ancient Gaul? A shocking idea, but that's what the Gauls get when the mothers in Asterix's village hire Bravura to teach their children. Although she, Asterix and Obelix are unlikely allies, between them they fight back against Julius Caesar's secret weapon. What can that weapon be? And how can even Cacofonix help?
The 29th album chronicling the adventures of Asterix and friends.
