Dédicace d'Albert Uderzo sur le passe-partout.

L’un des meilleurs albums de la série francophone la plus vendue de tous les temps, Astérix et Cléopâtre est un festival d’humour, avec un Goscinny maniant le comique de situation tout en jouant sur le texte (« Mais lâchez-moi, vous voyez bien que je suis déjà repoussé ! » s’écrie le Romain) et un Uderzo au sommet de son art, qu’il s’agisse de camper des scènes de bagarre « pour rire », de transcender le mouvement par le dessin ou de restituer l’architecture de l’époque gallo-romaine. Rien ne manque à cette planche survitaminée !

Catalogue Note

One of the best albums of the best-selling French comics series of all time, Asterix and Cleopatra is a feast of comedy, with Goscinny handling the situation comedy while playing with the words (“Let go, can’t you see I've already been driven back!” cries the Roman) and Uderzo at the pinnacle of his artistry, whether camping up fight scenes "for laughs", transcending movement through his drawing or recreating the architecture of the Gallo-Roman era. Nothing is missing from this supercharged board! Dedication by Albert Uderzo on the mount.
