THE RETURN OF ASTERIX, THE WORLD'S FIRST SUPERHERO: The relaunch of the re-inked, re-coloured and re-designed Asterix series, now published in the correct order for the first time.

Gaul was divided into three parts. No, four parts - for one small village of indomitable Gauls still held out against the Roman invaders.

BOOK 5

When the Romans say no, Asterix says yes. So when the soldiers construct a barricade around Asterix's village to pen everyone in, he and Obelix embark on a trip around the entire country, collecting local specialties along the way. It's a delicious feast for them, and readers, too.
