The Return of Asterix, the World's First Superhero! The 'Asterix' series has now been re-inked, re-coloured and re-designed, and published in the correct order for the first time.
The Romans capture Cacofonix as a gift for Caesar who plans to throw him to the lions. To get into Circus Maximus and rescue their bard, Asterix and Obelix have to become Gladiators.
The year is 50 BC. Gaul is divided into three parts. No, four parts - for one small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the Roman invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaires who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium . . .
Meet Asterix, the hero of these adventures, a shrewd, cunning little warrior, his inseparable friend Obelix, Getafix the venerable village druid, Cacofonix, the bard, and Vitalstatistix, the chief of the tribe in these timeless and much loved adventures.
