Asterix history project revealed by the author’s daughter | Life

PARIS, October 18 The daughter of René Goscinny, one of the members of the duo behind the indomitable star of the French comic strip Asterix, has revealed that her father had left unfinished a draft featuring the Gallic warrior who denigrated the Romans.

I often think about it, its 20 pages, half of a comic strip, told Anne Goscinny to the German weekly The mirror in a weekend interview.

Typed by René Goscinny, the script titled Asterix at the circus was found in the family archives, kept by Anne.

But she said finishing the story without her father would be a very complicated task.

We need to get a lot of people around the table, immerse ourselves in the story and find the voice of (Renes) again, she said, adding that it was like there was a hole in a painting of Goya.

One day to try well, it would be an extraordinary adventure, added Anne.

Asterix, defender of the last Gallic village to resist the Roman Empire, was imagined in 1959 by René Goscinny, who died in 1977, and Albert Uderzo, who died last year.

The comics have sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide.

Before the Asterix series, there was no comic book story that had a screenwriter. ETX Studio
