Asterix and the Picts: First non-Uderzo and Goscinny Asterix album due out in October

"Asterix and the Picts," the first Asterix story not illustrated by Albert Uderzo, is set for release this fall.

Uderzo, who created Asterix with writer René Goscinny in 1956, carried on creating Asterix stories on his own when Goscinny passed away in 1977, but announced his retirement in 2011 at age 84.

Publisher Hachette Livre has since hired a new creative team, Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad, to create the 35th Asterix book, due out Oct. 24.

No details as to the story, but you can peek at some images and learn about the new creative team here.
