Written by: Goscinny – Drawings by: Uderzo
Original title: Astérix chez les Belges
Published by: Hachette Livre
First album edition: 1979
Who are bravest, the Belgian tribes or the Gauls? And who can destroy more fortified Roman camps?
When the content ends in a draw, and Julius Caesar is asked to adjudicate, he goes into action against both the Gauls and Belgians. They unite against him, inventing fish and chips along the way. But will Caesar meet his Waterloo?
What the druids have to say about the album
This is the last adventure written by René Goscinny. It was serialised in Le Monde newspaper, as was Asterix and Caesar’s Gift in the summer of 1974. Almost three years after Obelix and Co came out, this album had a print run of 1,500,000 – its popularity showing that readers had not forgotten Asterix. Rather, they wanted more, as the huge successes of following albums have shown.
This was the album chosen by Albert Uderzo in November 2002 to pay tribute to his friend who had died 25 years earlier, before the book’s first publication.
