Synopsis
In Baghdad, the Caliph's Grand Vizier Iznogoud has one aim in life: to become Caliph instead of the Caliph. The benign ruler, Haroun al Plassid is blind to his vizier's scheming to get rid of him and generally had rather take a nap. Iznogoud is faithfully seconded by Wa'at Alahf in trying to put his fiendish designs into action.
Review
From the same chap that brought us the wonderful Asterix the Gaul, and Lucky Luke - Rene Goscinny brings us Grand Viser Iznogoud whose one main aim is to become Caliph any way he can. As you'd expect from the man who gave us such names as Vitalstatistix and Cacaophonix the Bard, word play is rife in these stories, with many in-jokes and visual puns. This is a collection of vignettes as Iznogoud hatches plan after plan -all of which fail miserably (and comedically). If you like Asterix then you will enjoy these.
