Wendy Bouchard - today, what is left of Asterix and its Gallic village (in us), 60 years later?

Topic 2: "What remains of Asterix and its Gallic village (in us), 60 years later?"

This year, Asterix the most Gallic French, celebrates its 60 years. As the 46th Angoulême International Comic Strip Festival begins on Thursday, tomorrow (Wednesday) will release 2 new collector editions of 'Asterix the Gaul', its very first adventure.

Who is really Asterix: a hero, an 'anti-hero'? What legacy has he left us? How to explain that 60 years later, it still remains modern?
