The very current subject of L’Iris blanc– a sort of guru, therefore, with the false air of Dominique de Villepin and Bernard-Henry Lévy wants to infuse the Gallic village with a radically positive spirit, far from their quarrelsome temperament -, is perhaps or even surely at the origin of this umpteenth bestseller.
The search for the pun, the play on words in the first and second degree, dear to Goscinny and Uderzo, is certainly the second ingredient in this dynamic of bookstore success. Indeed, Fabcaro, the new comic strip writer, has given it his all here. For exemple, “But yes ! We are putting crazy sesterces in this Gallic village which still resists», aping Emmanuel Macron, or even “If you want war, prepare peace?” Yeah…», mischievously inverting the famous Latin quote, undoubtedly contribute to the flavor and triumph of this 40th album.
Since 1961 and the release of‘Asterix the gallic the craze for the stories created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo has never waned. Nearly 400 million albums have since been sold on four continents. A true marvel of adaptation, they have, over time, been translated into 117 languages, and even into a few dialects. L’Iris blanc confirms it, Gallicism knows no borders or limits.
