Asterix and the Black Gold

Asterix and the Black Gold

Presentation

Written and illustrated by: Uderzo
Original title: L’Odyssée d’Astérix

Published by: Les Editions Albert René
First album edition: 1981

Phoenician merchant Ekonomikrisis has forgotten the druid Getafix’s order for rock oil – an essential ingredient in the magic potion. So Asterix and Obelix go prospecting for black gold in the Middle East.

 

Can they also outwit the Roman secret agent Dubbelosix and his amazing folding chariot, equipped with all the latest spy gadgets?

What the druids have to say about the album

The surviving author made a second study trip. To create the album in rock oil, Albert Uderzo went to Israel.

 

A nice tribute to René disguised as a Bedouin has slipped into the album. This second book by Albert alone shows he still has a wide readership.

 

The German Mundart collection of Asterix translations in different dialects has no less than three versions of the adventure:

  • Törn för nix (Hamburg dialect)
  • Em Asterix sei groosi Tuur (Saarland dialect)
  • Asterix u Obelix uf Irrwäge (Swiss-German dialect)
