Asterix's 50th year

The UK Independent reports that on October 29, the little Gaul from Brittany whose village stood against the Roman conquest with the help of their druid's magic potions will be celebrating the 50th year since his creators René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo first came up with the series in 1959.

Update: France24 reports there'll be a 34th book.

Update 2: one more article from Cape Argus.

Update 3: here's an article from Veronique Chemla, in French.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
