2019 kr. The whole world has opened to heroes of both genders.

Whole? No. There has been a small area that defies the trend, a small area surrounded by fortified Roman camps ...

Until this week.

When the 38th album on Asterix and the brave grilles is now released in several markets, we find Adrenaline in one of the main roles. In "La fille de Vercingétorix" ("Vercingetorix's daughter"), the teenage girl sets out to fight on her own against the wicked Romans, after which the slightly older Asterix and Obelix get to run after and try to understand her more youthful language.

- We did not want to create yet another figure that would be based on her seductive side, which we usually do with female characters in Asterix. For the most part, there have been young attractive women trying to seduce Obelix and their characters have stayed there, says Didier Conrad, who designed the new album.

Daughter of King Vercingetorix

Adrenaline, dressed in black and with her red hair in a long braid, is thus the daughter of the Gallic king Vercingetorix, who previously appeared in Asterix. He is also one of the few characters in the series that also existed in reality.

Asterix, Obelix, Miraculix and the others were created by cartoonist Albert Uderzo and comic book writer René Goscinny and made their debut in 1959. The duo created 24 series albums together. After Goscinny's death, Uderzo, now 92, continued to write the adventure himself. But since 2013, Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad have written and signed the albums.

Over the years, Asterix's Adventures has been published in over one hundred languages ​​and sold more than 370 million copies.
