We are in the year 65 after the invention of Asterix. In 1959, René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo created Europe's greatest comic icon. Until Goscinny's much too early death in 1977, the creators of Asterix produced 24 full-length adventures as well as a good dozen short stories. This new series, a successor to the previous complete edition, presents all the stories in chronological order, supplemented by numerous pages of bonus material. Volume one includes the classic albums "Asterix the Gaul," "The Golden Sickle," and "Asterix and the Goths.".
