Here is the volume that started it all, Asterix the Gaul! We are introduced to the indomitable hero, Asterix, and his diehard friends, like Obelix, as they defend one Gaulish village from the surrounding Roman invaders. Published with new historical context on the creators, the comic process and the time period in which ASTERIX was published, and now bound in an oversized 9.5" x 12.75" collector's item format with a beautiful gold foil treatment. This is a must-have for fans of the classic series!.
