Description

This comic book features the cover of the album "Asterix and Cleopatra", published by Dargaud. The book has a white hardback cover illustrated with a color drawing showing Asterix, Cleopatra, and Obelix in an iconic scene from the story. The title, "Asterix and Cleopatra", is printed in black and yellow with a green frame bearing the inscription "The greatest adventure ever drawn."

The upper part of the cover reads "AN ADVENTURE OF ASTERIX THE GAUL", with a black and red typography characteristic of the series. On the left, stylized turquoise patterns and hieroglyphs evoke the world of ancient Egypt, reinforcing the album's visual identity. The Dargaud publisher's logo is visible in the lower left corner.

The credits on the left specify "Text by Goscinny" and "Drawings by Uderzo". At the bottom of the cover, a humorous list details the supplies needed to produce the album, demonstrating the offbeat tone characteristic of the Asterix series.

The book has a hard binding with slightly rounded corners, typical of Dargaud editions from the 1980s. The spine appears well-preserved on the visible side. The cover surface has a satin finish, without a strong glossy effect.

The colors of the central visual are vibrant, with dominant yellows, greens, blues, and whites, true to the aesthetic of Asterix albums from this period. No major defects are visible on the front, apart from some minor signs of use on the corners.
