Ever heard of the nastiest, cruelest and dumbest grand vizier in the entire history of the caliphates? Iznogoud (that’s him) dreams of only one thing: “to be Caliph instead of the Caliph.” In short, he wants to take the place of Haroun El Poussah. In his power-hungry quest, he relies on his right-hand man, Dilat Laraht, whose strength is matched only by his stupidity. With Iznogoud, Goscinny and Tabary have created a humorous comic filled with puns and comical situations. Re-readings never fail to bring up little hidden details. A great Franco-Belgian comic classic not to be missed!

Thus his favourite saying: “I want to be caliph instead of the caliph!” Seconded by Wa'at Alahf, Iznogoud tries ever more diverse and even crazier means to reach his ends – in vain, of course!
T2 Iznogoud
Legend has it that in Baghdad the magnificent, a great and particularly dark-minded vizier, who answers to the name of Iznogoud, works on his ambition to steal the throne of Caliph Haroun al Plassid. Thus his favourite saying: “I want to be caliph instead of the caliph!” Iznogoud, seconded by his faithful servant Wa’at Alahf, goes on vacation with the caliph...in the desert! Of course, his goal is to get rid of him by any means necessary...
T3 Iznogoud
The Day of Misrule dawns in the magnificent city of Baghdad. Once a year, on this day, slaves take the place of their masters, masters become slaves, and grand viziers become caliphs instead of the caliph! But at midnight, everything goes back to normal.
Despite all his scheming and plotting to get rid of the Caliph, Iznogoud still hasn’t replaced him – will he ever give up?
T4 Iznogoud
In Baghdad, the Caliph’s Grand Vizier Iznogoud has one aim in life: to become Caliph instead of the Caliph.

Iznogoud is faithfully seconded by Wa’at Alahf in trying to put his fiendish designs into action.
T5 Iznogoud
Iznogoud is Grand Vizier to Haroun al Plassid, ruler of Baghdad. And he
has only one dream: becoming Caliph instead of the Caliph. With the lazy
assistance of his faithful servant Wa’at Alahf, he tries his worst
again and again–to no avail. But the usually oblivious Caliph has
finally caught a hint of Iznogoud’s evil reputation among the people. To
help the one he believes to be his friend, he sets off on a quest to
find the legendary vegetable that brings out a man’s kinder nature: the
carrot!
T6 Iznogoud
Haroun al Plassid is ruler of Baghdad, but his Grand Vizier Iznogoud is
not happy with this state of affairs. Always on the lookout for ways to

and the most inconvenienced of all will be the inhabitants of… Beijing

In Baghdad the Magnificent reigns Haroun al Plassid, who is the Caliph.
There also dwells Iznogoud, who wants to be the Caliph. The irascible
Grand Vizier hatches plot after plot to remove his ruler and take his
place—melting Djinn, invisibility spell, cursed diamond, voodoo doll…
But no amount of cunning or obstinacy can make up for sheer, hilariously
bad luck.
T8 Iznogoud
Wishing upon a star never really works—unless maybe you actually go
there? Or even better: You send the person you hate the most on a
one-way trip. Like, for example, a caliph you’d like to replace… Will
outer space be the answer to Iznogoud’s eternal problem? Or should he
try through education, or the arts? Maybe his dreams hold the key to his
success? Many questions, but only one certainty: When it inevitably
goes wrong for the evil grand vizier, it’s the reader who will be the
one laughing!
