The proceeds from an auction of an original artwork of Asterix cartoon will go to the families of Charlie Hebdo attack victims, it has been revealed.
The auction which took place in Paris has managed to fetch 106,782 pounds and the auction house Christie's also waived its commission on the sale, the BBC reported.
The storyboard, from 1971's Asterix and the Laurel Wreath, carried a special dedication from the character's co-creator, Albert Uderzo.
Twelve people were killed when gunmen stormed the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on 7 January.
Two days after the shootings, Uderzo came out of retirement to pen cartoons in tribute to the victims, who included some of France's most celebrated cartoonists and satirists.
The cartoon said "Moi aussi je suis un Charlie" ("I'm Charlie too") echoing the "Je Suis Charlie" slogan adopted by people protesting against the attack, and advocating freedom of expression.
Another image showed the characters Asterix and Obelix standing next to one other, their heads bowed in grief.
