Albert Uderzo, the co-creator of Asterix,
"I have kept my mouth shut for years, but today I have decided to act," the 86-year-old Uderzo told reporters at his home in the Paris suburbs."I want to turn the tables on those who are attacking me. Enough is enough," Uderzo said.
In a statement, Uderzo and his wife said their daughter and her husband were not seeking reconciliation and were "introducing and extending legal procedures that have no foundation".
"The sole purpose of these acts is to undermine our psychological integrity and to hasten our debility, in order to get their hands on our legacy, which they covet," the statement said.
"We have decided to make Sylvie Uderzo and her husband understand that we won't let them do this to us," said Uderzo's lawyer, Pierre Cornut Gentille.
The 35 books in the Asterix series have sold 352 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 110 languages and dialects.
