The new Asterix album was released this Wednesday, October 26 in bookstores.
This is a gift idea that could be found under the tree at Christmas. This Wednesday, October 26, the 40e Asterix album was released in bookstores. Named “The White Iris”, the story was imagined by the author FabCaro. He was accompanied by Didier Conrad, for the drawings.
Precisely, on the storyline side, in addition to the famous Asterix, Obelix and their dog Idéfix, a new character has appeared in the comic strip. It is Vicevertus, the chief physician of Julius Caesar’s armies. An atypical character to say the least since he is tall, with white locks, skilled and a good talker and has the air of Dominique de Villepin or Bernard-Henri Lévy.
Present in the Roman garrisons, he will manage to get closer to the Gallic village thanks to his philisophy of “positive thought” and especially by seducing the woman of the village chief, explains Franceinfo. Indeed, this the last one will get tired of her husband to follow the first one to come.
Near 20 minutes, FabCaro confides “that he didn’t hesitate for a second” to accept this project that he has “worked as usual, without stress or hassle”but assures that he still has “a little bit of fear, I’m not going to hide it.”
