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 has broken his golden sickle, so Asterix and Obelix visit Lutetia to buy a new one. Unfortunately the sicklesmith (a cousin of Obelix’s) has mysteriously gone missing . . . 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.
