«Astérix y Cleopatra» is the adventure comic by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, published by Grijalbo/Dargaud in paperback (48 pages, in Spanish).
In this Asterix album, Cleopatra promises Julius Caesar to build him a palace in Egypt within three months and entrusts the work to the architect Numerobis. To help him, Asterix and Obelix travel to the land of the Nile and face the schemes of a rival who tries to sabotage the construction. The adventure combines humour, wit and references to ancient Egypt, with the Gauls showing that the magic potion can overcome any challenge.
It is the sixth album in the Asterix series. The story originally appeared in 1965. The cover boasts of the materials used in its creation: fourteen litres of Indian ink, thirty brushes, sixty-two pencils and sixty-seven litres of beer.
Recommended for readers aged 14 and over, fans of European comics and of the classic adventures of Asterix and Obelix, and for collectors of Spanish-language editions with the Grijalbo/Dargaud imprint.
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.
