Astérix à la BnF

This homage to the moustachioed Gaul at the Bibliothèque Nationale is based around 120 original boards donated by Albert Uderzo (illustrator and the only author in charge of the series since the death of writer René Goscinny in 1977). The exhibition looks at the creation of the story, analyses the reasons for its enormous success, explains the work of the Goscinny-Uderzo duo, and evaluates the legancy of the cheery magic potion drinkers around the world. It's a wonderful opportunity to rediscover one of the most iconic strips in the history of comics, and to revisit the masterful humour and unparalleled energy of Asterix, Obelix, Getafix et al.
