Uderzo

De Flamberge a Asterix

The first biographical work devoted to Albert Uderzo, De Flamberge à Astérix is a wealth of information and unpublished drawings spanning more than four decades of a phenomenal career. From the first sketches on the school notebooks to the birth of the Asterix myth, through all the characters born from the abundant invention of Albert Uderzo and his acolytes Jean-Michel Charlier and René Goscinny, it's a whole section of the great history of comics that unfolds before our amazed eyes.
