39th Asterix album, 'Asterix and the Griffin' unveiled
The cover of the 39th album of Asterix's adventures, "Asterix and the Griffin", is unveiled on October 11, for release on October 21. Created by Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad, it is the first Asterix album to be published since the death of cartoonist Albert Uderzo in 2020.
Asterix and Obelix are gearing up to go on their 39th adventure, their first since the death of the comic's co-creator, Albert Uderzo. The new cover of the upcoming comic, Asterix and the Griffin was unveiled at a press conference on Monday, 10 days ahead of its worldwide release. The all-new addition to the Asterix comics series will be written by Jean-Yves Ferri.
The pre-orders for Asterix and the Griffin opened recently and this gave fans to secure their copy of the action-packed adventure comic. The all-new comic is set to release on October 21 and will revolve around the search for the terrifying griffin. The griffin is described as 'Half-eagle and half-lion', who is both 'idolised and feared'.
The all-new cover of the comic features the two heroes on what appears to be the trunk of a tree, but is in fact a scary creature, who is trying to get away from them. The comic will be all about Asterix, Obelix and Dogamatix and their search for the griffin. Reports state that the comic will release in more than 20 different languages.
