Asterix and the Magic Carpet

Written and illustrated by: Uderzo
Original title: Astérix chez Rahãzade
Published by: Les Editions Albert René
First album edition: 1987

Cacofinix’s tuneless singing always makes it rain – which is just what they want in Rajah Watzit’s distant Eastern kingdom. The guru Hoodunnit has threatened to end a terrible drought by sacrificing lovely Princess Orinjade.

Can the Gauls, flown in on the fakir Watziznegm’s magic carpet, rescue her? The bard’s finest hour has come!

What the druids have to say about the album

An Asterix adventure in the realm of the fantastic. The flying carpet is just as fanciful as the magic potion, but the excursion to the mysterious Orient gives Cacofonix the chance to be a star again. It’s refreshing, especially with all the downpours the bard brings on …

A book of sketches based on the drawings for the album came out in 1988 (print run of 300 numbered and signed copies + 100 numbered and signed copies for restricted sale only).
