«Asterix the Legionary» is the adventure and humour comic by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo (Hodder & Stoughton, paperback, 48 pages, in English).
Asterix and Obelix volunteer for the Roman legion to rescue Tragicomix, a young man from their village who was forcibly conscripted. Their peculiar sense of discipline and tendency to sow chaos turn military life into a farce, and the battlefield ends up as a scene of mayhem.
The original album, «Astérix légionnaire», features a translation by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge.
Recommended for young readers and fans of humorous adventure comics.
René Goscinny was a French comic editor and writer, who created the Asterix comic book series with illustrator Albert Uderzo. Born in France to a Jewish family from Poland, he spent his childhood in Argentina where he attended French schools and later lived in the United States for a short period of time. There he met Belgian cartoonist Morris. After his return to France, they collaborated for more than 20 years on the comic series Lucky Luke.
