Papercutz and Mad Cave Studios have a wonderful surprise in store for Asterix readers, young and old: the 40th book of Asterix tales will be published on October 26th, 2023.
For this latest graphic adventure, Éditions Albert René, Anne Goscinny and Sylvie Uderzo are delighted to announce the arrival of a new indomitable team member: Fabcaro.
Fabcaro will be working alongside the talented illustrator Didier Conrad, and, for this book the duo will continue the work of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the genius creators of this unclassifiable saga that’s devoured by millions of readers in all corners of the world.
Fabcaro, working with artist Didier Conrad, who has been drawing the feisty Gaul and his friends since 2013. Fabcaro comes with the endorsement of the daughters of Albert Uderzo and Rene Goscinny, who created Asterix back in 1959. Fabcaro describes his long relationship with Asterix:
“I grew up with Asterix. When I read my first one – it was Asterix and the Great Divide which my mum bought for me the day it was published – I fell head over heels. I went straight on to read Asterix and the Big Fight, Asterix and the Roman Agent . . . and I very soon found I was reading them all on a loop. I learned to read with René Goscinny and to draw with Albert Uderzo. I remember copying whole frames from the albums. I’ve reread those albums regularly all through my life, and I always enjoy them just as much.”
