A lost page |
|
Were you also always wondering about this page 35 in many editions of Asterix the Gaul which is of really low quality??? In fact this page is a bad reproduction of the original one which got lost and was never found again. Later the page was completely redrawn by - at least that is what rumours tell us - Uderzo's brother Marcel. |
This is the original drawing. It was published only time - in Pilote no. 28 issued on May 5, 1960. |
... so it was decided to produce a copy of that page. Due to less sophisticated reproduction techniques at that time the result was what we can see here: very poor quality. |
Later, as it is said, Albert's brother Marcel Uderzo redrew the page. |
|
The second version is what can be found in most editions. Only the latest printings usually contain Marcel*'s page. |
