Russia, Portugal or Alesia … Where is will take place the next Asterix adventure in 2020? – Louise MERESSE / SIPA
But where are Asterix, Obelix going and Panoramix (and Dogmatix)? The Sunday Newspaper and RTL have unveiled a sheet of the next album of ‘Asterix , which will appear this year, the 20 October . We discover our two irreducible Gauls, flanked by the village druid, set off for a new adventure.
After one year 2019 marked (not by the coronavirus, change the disc a bit) by the 39 th anniversary of Asterix and the death of its historic designer Albert Uderzo , a new unpublished album is therefore in preparation. Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad ,
authors of Asterix since 310, are currently working on their fifth album together, which will be the 60 he adventure of Asterix. However, we still do not know the title. And for good reason, this one should reveal the destination of the Gauls in the manner of Asterix in Hispania or Asterix among the Goths . .
Danube or Tagus?
The unveiled page shows a game of Gallic chess (apparently, the game would therefore not have been imported by the Arabs) interrupted by a vision of Panoramix. One of his friends is in great danger and we must hurry to help him. In the last box of this unpublished sheet (which will not appear as such in the album), the three heroes leave the village in a chariot for “a very long journey”, with a full barrel of magic potion.
After an album unfolding in the Gallic village, La Fille de Vercingétorix in 2019, this new adventure was expected to take place outdoors, as tradition dictates. A rumor announced the adventures of Asterix in Portugal (or Lusitania), but then, Panoramix would undoubtedly have opted for a departure by sea. Some Asterix fans believe they know that Russia or the banks of the Danube could be the destination of the trio. They note in any case that the adventures in which Panoramix is embarked are very rare (including the exceptional Asterix and Cleopatra ).
