The Gallic War - La guerre des Gaules

[Tartamudo]

Hello to all,

this topic for speaking about an adaptation of the famous Caius Julius Caesar's Gallic War.

the project is made by two european author ,the drawner is Vincent Pompetti
collaborating with historian storyteller Tarek, they are doing a personnal point of view on this story, in which Vercingetorix/celtic nations will take a special place, but also a special work has been done to fit with archaelogical reseach, living history and re-enactor groups.
So Gallic warriors and roman legionnary will be quite different from Asterix version...
The adaptation will be out on bookshops/amazon coming soon in april for the french version, but in the next week it is also planned an english version

you can discover the cover of the first book (of two, the next will be "vercingetorix"), some pages, illustrations and sketches on the website :

Thank you for yours answers ! Be sure that we'll give you the informations in time.And we'll also try to get a collaboration with an american publisher, but it is hypothetic at this time.
For the french-speaking or the most courageous, the french version is already pre-orderable on amazon ;
