“
We are in 52 BC.
All Lutèce is occupied by the Romans… Everything?
No !
A band of irreducible animals led by Dogmatix is still resisting the invader
”, we can read on the site of the Asterix saga created by Albert Uderzo and René Goscinny.
A promising summary for the album
Idéfix et les Irréductibles,
featuring the adventures of the little white dog before his meeting with Obelix, two years before his meeting with Asterix and Obelix, in the album
Le Tour de Gaule d'Astérix
, the fifth of the saga.
Adapted from episodes of the TV series which will be broadcast next September, the book is designed by the tandem Jean Bastide and Philippe Fenech.
It will be released in bookstores on June 16 for the modest sum of 8.99 euros.
Dogmatix, hero of an animated series in 3D, from September 2021
This first part will contain three short stories:
Fluctuat N-Hic!
Mergitur, La Baballe de Chevrotine
and
Labienus, you won't get me!
Among the new characters, young viewers will get to know Baratine, a cheeky gutter cat with a Parigot accent, Turbine, best friend of Idéfix, who was abandoned by her former masters, Padgachix, a bulldog from Tolosa (Toulouse), standing out for his power or Asmatix, very old pigeon of Lutetia, veteran of Gallic struggles.
Throughout the episodes, the public will find (or discover) Goudurix, Amérix, Abraracourcix or Bonemine, characters directly from the universe imagined in 1959 by Albert Uderzo and René Goscinny.
Alain Chabat at the helm
Faithful to the original work,
Idéfix et les Irréductibles
interweaves the adventures and humor so dear to the authors, as well as the puns that have largely contributed to its global success.
Taken over by Jean-Yves Ferri for the screenplay and Didier Conrad for the drawing, the comic saga will feature a 39th album scheduled for next October.
It will be a “travel” adventure in which Asterix and Obelix will set off “
for an unprecedented destination
”.
The Albert René editions have also teamed up with the streaming platform to adapt the album to the animated series
Le Combat des chefs,
directed by Alain Chabat, who has already signed
Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cléopâtre
