Asterix
is a comic book series that started in 1961 and was written primarily
by Ren้ Goscinny* and illustrated by Albert Uderzo. There have been 39
official books to date though numbering of each book varies from publisher
to publisher - the Orion Books versions are the only publisher (in the
UK) to number the books correctly. The correct numbering should be the
order in which they were first published in France (List
at bottom of gallery). The first part of the gallery featured below is
a set of eight standard size paperbacks (with black and white content)
published by Knight Books from 1972 to 1975. The second part of the gallery
shows the original books and some of their cover variations. I do not
have every cover variation of every title, though I do have every title
in my collection. I have arranged the main gallery by the official numbering
order, reflecting what I have
in my collection only
and shall add to the gallery as I acquire more.
*Numbers 124, 32 and 34 are by Goscinny and Uderzo. Numbers 2531 and 33 are by Uderzo alone. Numbers 3537 are by Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad. |
