Asterix, Obelix and Idefix (back cover)

The Asterix Wall of Honor

The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans.
Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still
holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the
Roman legionairies who garrison the fortified camps of
Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...

This is the beginning of every Asterix book, it sets the time and place where the adventures of Asterix, Obelix and many other characters take place.
This Asterix page is dedicated to all the translators of the famous comic Asterix the Gaul because in my opinion they deserve more than a single line in the colofon of a book.

Their names I have found in the books in my collection of all possible translations.

The original language of this comic is French. The cover says that the drawings are by Albert Uderzo and the text is by Ren? Goscinny but I think this division is not so strong.

What can you find on this page:

  1. a list of translators
  2. the providers of the information
  3. my favourite Asterix sites on the Web
Currently I have albums (or copies) in 71 languages out of 81 (+ 7 announced but never published).

In the global list they are marked with an * (I could not think of anything else ;-) or a © to indicate it is a copy (anyone care to help me find a real one ?).

My wish list: Arabian, Argentinian, Belo-russian, Berlinisch, Birmese, Drents, Farsi, Frankisch, Gronings, Gujardi, Hindi, Japanese, Kampuchian, Laotian, Langue d'Oc, Lithouanian, Malayala, Marathi, Ruhrpott, Sallands, Telugu, Valencian and Vietnamese.

If you are able to get me an album in a language I do not have, I would be interested in exchanging it for a comic book in Dutch or other Dutch products. Mail to me, Huub van Helvoort, if you like to help me expand my collection.
