What the druids have to say about the album<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Not content with having been widely translated, like all the other albums, the first Adventure of Asterix has appeared in all kinds of forms: audio cassettes, CDs, Mini Books, an animated cartoon\u2026<\/p>\n

This first album shows what a precursor Cacofonix<\/a> was, as he plays the bagpipes and the violin, long before those particular instruments had been invented \u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Page 35 of all the versions of the album apart from the ones in English has an unusual history. Because the original plate had been lost and was needed for a fresh printing of the album, it was completely redrawn by Marcel Uderzo, Albert\u2019s brother, in 1970. Albert had in fact trained Marcel so that he could help him with the colouring. This page is the only Asterix plate not to have been drawn by Albert Uderzo. By looking carefully you will see the odd difference compared to other pages (larger letters, finer features \u2026). English versions, however, always use the original plate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/5″][vc_single_image image=”40328″ img_size=”280×429″ alignment=”center” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1732091894608{padding-bottom: 0px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”2\/5″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”15372″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/5″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

What makes the album unforgettable<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Even in this very first adventure the damage inflicted on the Roman armies is engraved on many a memory: Julius Caesar<\/a>\u2019s squeal of pain when Vercingetorix \u201clays down\u201d his arms at his feet, the Druid Getafix\u2019s hair potion that makes Roman legionaries\u2019 hair and beards grow outrageously long, the session of musical chairs to pick a Roman \u201cvolunteer\u201d, the foraging for out-of-season strawberries\u2026
\nOne thing\u2019s clear from the off \u2013 readers of Asterix are in for a lot of fun![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column width=”3\/5″ offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
