Volume 41 takes Asterix to Portugal - as the publisher has already revealed

Translation: machine translated
"Asterix in Lusitania" is the title of the 41st volume in the Asterix series. It is the 25th time that the Gauls are travelling. The new comic will be published in autumn.
So this time Asterix and Obelix are travelling to Portugal. The publishing house behind the Asterix series is releasing information about the 41st volume. Actually, that's all the news: it will be called "Asterix in Lusitania".
A former Lusitanian slave, whom we already know from <em>The Trabant City</em>, asks the Gauls for help.
The Header image for the new volume should delight those who appreciate the art of azulejos, the colourful Portuguese tiles. Asterix and Obelix are standing on such an artistically designed floor. Illustrator Didier Conrad also wanted to "honour the virtuosos of the paving trade".
Other than that, the announcement for volume 41 is rather generic: "Fans can look forward to new rivals, big challenges and lots of fun."
Okay.
The fact that the Gauls will be travelling far away for their next adventure is consistent with the logic of the past decades. An adventure in the village or the local area has always been followed by a trip to faraway places. Having last had to search for the griffin in Siberia, this time the destination is Europe's south-west. Austria or the Netherlands will have to be patient.
Once a Roman province, now Portugal
