By Jupiter! The palace of Caesar has a leak. One chapter of his memoirs, which is not intended for publication, was stolen by a hack writer named Bigdatah. The acts of idealism, because the contents of the papyrus is explosive, the writer wants to prevent the suppression of important historical information. So he hands over the scroll Polemix, the Rome correspondent of the “Gallic Revue”.
The experienced “colporteur of news” recognizes the potential scandal of the document at once, it goes in it but to “setbacks in the fight against the indomitable Gauls in Armorica”. It is the proof that the Romans do not hold all Gaul occupied – described by the great generals themselves

The battle for this “Papyrus of Caesar” is at the heart of the 36th volume of the “Asterix” series. That of “De bello Gallico” inspired work appears today, Thursday, with a global launch pad of four million copies and was kept secret. Ironically, it was in the comic with the Wikileaks-like action itself a Leak: In a Munich bookstore he was already two days before launch from – a little glitch on the edge of the great spectacle to a pop culture classic, which still has a tremendously loyal following Has. Simply by pre the band already is carrying the German Amazon sales charts.
Illustrators Didier Conrad meets Uderzo’s style perfectly
It is the second adventure of the Gauls, the lyricist Jean-Yves Ferri and draftsman Didier Conrad responsibility, both were born in 1959, the year when the first “Asterix” story was published. Apparently, a good omen, the two series have nevertheless performed from a severe crisis. Even after the death of René Goscinny Texters the signatories of Albert Uderzo alone continuing comic rez had lost. The last two volumes – the aliens quark “Asterix and the Falling Sky” (2005) and “Asterix & amp; Obelix’s Birthday “on the 50th anniversary of the series – was the sad low points of the series history. Apparently had to see also the now 88-year-old Uderzo that French superheroes need a fresh start. So he gave – probably also harassed by the publisher – his blessing for the new team, which had previously not known and now works mainly via the Internet, because Illustrator Didier Conrad lives in California

In her first band, the published two years ago, “Asterix and the Picts,” she already did their job well, a sigh of relief went through the fan and critic community. Conrad hit the style of Uderzo perfect and based in Scotland, with a master tattooed villagers history stood confidently in the tradition of travel adventures like “Asterix in Switzerland” or “Asterix in Britain” -. Without surprise particularly
For the new plant is Terri and Conrad seem a bit more to have made, they dare before continue. So their story has a high contemporary relevance, but is anchored simultaneously absolutely credible in the well-known Gallo-Roman universe. Even the first village scene is wonderfully succeeded: The postman Rohrpostix provides the “Gallic Revue” and subscriber SPUTNIX reads the most important thing before quickly. Even the news of Caesar’s just erschienenem bestseller “Comments on the Gallic War” so reached Armorica. The interested residents, however, far less than the latest horoscope of druids Apollosix. For Asterix and Obelix, both born under the sign of Rowan, the advice is: “Avoid conflicts, more self-criticism, less wild boar”, mainly for the man in the blue and white striped pants in the course of the story to a brain – and magenzermarternden challenge is

Actually, the Gauls Your Writing measure no great importance, they rely on the oral tradition. Therefore, they added that of Polemix excitedly shown Papyrus hardly boil. After headlines as they flashed in the thinking and speech of “journalist” sometimes, you is not the point. However, should not be lost Caesar defeats report why Miraculix proposes to bring the papyrus to Archaeopteryx, the secret guardian of Gallic knowledge. The remembers everything and then says it to given time another druid on. The famous mouth-to-ear communication technology.
With the new band comes back swing and Esprit in the series
Since the Romans are a bit more advanced, they have not only newspapers, books and good old post office, but also have an ultra-modern racing pigeons system. This antique Internet equivalent is presented lovingly on one side, because it plays a central role in the “Papyrus of Caesar”, which contains many gags about the medium. Especially nice is the scene finally savvy in the three Roman scouts wherever Asterix, Obelix and Getafix have brought the Papyrus. You want to make notification to their camp. “Works out well, we still have a dove,” says a slightly drowsy Legionnaire and sends the bird on the journey. Flapp, flapp, he disappears into the night. “No, wait!” Exclaims his colleague. “We have forgotten the Annex …”
Ferri and Conrad bring with the new band swing back and Esprit in the series. The jokes are less stale and clichéd, with much verbal wit is retained even in Klaus Jökens translation. While Asterix remains forever in the year 50 BC, but now he seems to have finally arrived in this millennium
