A year after the death of Asterix inventor Albert Uderzo at the height of the pandemic, Paris is now dedicating its first extensive retrospective to the world-renowned comic book artist since his death at the age of 92.

As Paris eases pandemic restrictions on museums, more than 300 drawings by the French cartoonist, who died in March 2020, have gone on display at the Museum Maillol.
