About the Author

Rene Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926. After growing up in Argentina, he came to America where he shared a studio with future Mad magazine co-founder Harvey Kurtzman and collaborators Will Elder and Jack Davis. In 1959, he founded the magazine Pilote which premiered what was to become the most successful comic series anywhere: Asterix. He died suddenly cardiac arrest in 1977 at the age of 51.

Jean-Yves Ferri was handpicked by surviving Asterix creator, Albert Uderzo, to write subsequent volumes of the Asterix franchise, with artist Didier Conrad. Their first volume of Asterix, the 35th in the series, came out in 2013.

I love Asterix and the graphics are great. But when I ordered the latest book I did not realize that the format had changed from 8.66"x11.5" to now 7.5"x9.5" this is not acceptable. I have the entire collection of 39 volumes in the same format and this doesn't fit in. I am returning this book and try to find it in the original format somewhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent installment in the Asterix series!

Feels like the style of Asterix books by the original author/illustrator duo, funny moments and an enjoyable story with lots of re-reading value.

One strange thing about this particular publication is a misprint that the name of the character Getafix is called 'Panoramix', which is his name in the original French version of the series.

I’ve been buying Asterix books for over 50 years and this is the best Asterix produced in ages, not that any have been bad. This is an Asterix adventure much like the old ones. The story is fun and the artwork is excellent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Book with Magical Spell's Approach
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
Interesting! Fun to read the writer's imagination with magical spell with attractive illustrations. The Roman head physician of the Roman army named Viceversus is a powerful source to give a story with white iris. It is funny to read a "railway system of wagons" in Lvtetia as its reflection for the modern European railway centre on page 32. Also, it is comical to read the whole illustration of the rally along the fancy restaurant villa in page 35. This story is a combination of the past and the present pictures. Cheers!

I have been a regular reader of Asterix comics. The ones in the recent times didn't impress me much... but white iris has the most relevant comedy. Loved it thoroughly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to be funny
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023

Since I was a kid, I have loved to read the stories of Asterix and Obelix. As the new generation of writers and illustrators took over the project’s legacy, I felt the new stories lacked the wit and spontaneity of the comic legacy of Goscinny and Uderzo. A test of time is that whenever I read the old Asterix’s stories, my reaction is as if it was my first time reading them. Their details and (almost) hidden nuances in the illustrations tied to the stories make me laugh and leave me feeling tickled. This new story, “Asterix and the White Iris,” made me laugh (almost) like in the previous stories of Goscinny and Uderzo. Some passages could use more consistent transitions, but, overall, I give five stars to a job well done.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mantém a tradição
Reviewed in Brazil on May 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
Fabcaro faz sua estreia e cria uma história bem interessante, que utiliza uma sátira ao escritor Paulo Coelho. Funciona bem, apesar de lembrar a historia Cinzânia, um dos antigos (e perfeitos) álbuns escritos por Gosciny. Já Didier Conrad se distancia cada vez mais de Uderzo, mantendo, claro, toda a identificação dos personagens, mas é visível que o desenhista procura dar um toque pessoal aos personagens, nada que se possa recriminar. O GRANDE PROBLEMA desta edição é que a editora PAPPERCUT utiliza dimensões menores do que as comuns nas histórias de Asterix e isso implica de modo negativo no resultado final, já que a arte detalhista de Conrad não pode ser apreciada como deveria.
