UPDATED: Asterix calendars

A well overdue update to my guide to collecting Asterix calendars - hope you managed to get one of these to hang on your wall, I didn't!

now updated with calendars for 2026 - highlighted thus

Asterix calendar 2025

Asterix calendar 2023


A chance find at a bookshop in December 2019 has meant that, happily, an Asterix calendar has been hanging on my wall this year. 

2022 appears looks set to be a bumper year for Asterix calendars with these two calendars currently available on Amazon...


Working out a gift list for last Christmas inspired me to see if a calendar has been produced for...and, good news, it has been...and it's been on my wall all year


 
the calendar previously on my wall...



...I then started wondering if there had been calendars for other years...so far I've found just this one


A quick bit of googling brings up plenty of 'kalendars' for the German market but few others - or maybe they've just dropped the word 'kalendar' from the title (so that it can be sold more widely).

Anyway if you know of any other Asterix calendars do let me know - thanks.

UPDATED: Asterix calendars

It's that time of year again when thoughts start to turn to next year, to that end I wondered if I'd be able to replace the 2024 Asterix calendar on my wall with a new version for 2025, luckily it seems I can...

now updated with calendars for 1991 and 1996 (see below) - highlighted thus
