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.
Getafix, Obelix, Dogmatix and Asterix visit Egypt to help an architect build a palace for Caesar. There they are entranced by the Sphinx, the pyramids and Cleopatra's nose.
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.
