Asterix and cleopatra book serial#
It was first published in serial form in Pilote magazine, issues 215-257, in 1963. Asterix is less well known in the United States and Japan. Astérix et Cléopâtre Asterix and Cleopatra (Asterix, 6), René Goscinny Asterix and Cleopatra is the sixth book in the Asterix comic book series by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world, with the series being translated into over 100 languages, and it is popular in most European countries. For much of the history of the series (Volumes 4 through 29), settings in Gaul and abroad alternated, with even-numbered volumes set abroad and odd-numbered volumes set in Gaul, mostly in the village. In many cases, the stories have them travel to various countries around the world, though other books are set in and around their village. The “ix” suffix of both names echoes the name of Vercingetorix, a historical Gaul chieftain. The protagonist, the titular character, Asterix, along with his friend Obelix have various adventures. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The series follows the exploits of a village of ancient Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. There are villainous saboteurs to be outwitted, but Asterix, Obelix and Getafix still find time to go sight-seeing - and leave their mark on the pyramids and the Sphinx's nose. As of 2009, 34 comic books in the series have been released. How can lovely Queen Cleopatra show Julius Caesar that ancient Egypt is still a great nation Her architect Edifis recruits his Gaulish friends to help him build a magnificent palace within three months.
The series first appeared in French in the magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959.
Asterix and cleopatra book movie#
For those movie buffs the cover of the book is a parody of the Elizabeth Taylor movie Cleopatra's promotional poster.Asterix or The Adventures of Asterix (French: Astérix or Astérix le Gaulois, IPA: ) is a series of French comic books written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo (Uderzo also took over the job of writing the series after the death of Goscinny in 1977). This book became a movie in cartoon form in 1968 (yet the book itself hadn't been translated into English until 1969) and then a live action movie in 2002. It is interesting to note that this book is the only time (other than when he fell into the potion as a child etc etc etc) Obelix has sampled the magic potion. Needless to say all things, as they always do, work out but I find this book harder to read than most as I have also seen the movie, and its funny when you grow up with a perception of how someone acts or talks only to be hugely disappointed when faced with the reality. When Julius makes a passing comment to Queen Cleopatra that the Egyptians are a spent force in the modern world a wager is made that she can have the most fabulous palace built.and so the tale (the sixth on the series) begins.Īsterix and Obelix escort Getafix to Egypt to assist an old friend (Edifis) who has won the contract to build tha palace, only he is pretty shit at such things and he has his main rival (Artifis) as well as Julius himself trying to sabotage the construction.
