René Goscinny

Albert Uderzo

In this second special collector's edition of the beloved Asterix stories, albums 6-10 are brought together in one fabulous, luxury volume.

In ASTERIX AND CLEOPATRA, we join Asterix, Obleix and co as they are recruited to build a magnificent palace for Queen Cleopatra. There are villainous saboteurs to be outwitted, but Asterix, Obelix and Getafix still find time to go sight-seeing - and leave their mark on the pyramids and the Sphinx's nose.

In ASTERIX AND THE BIG FIGHT, there's something fishy going on, as Chief Cassius Ceramix has gone over to the Roman enemy. One way or another, the fight for control of the village between Vitalstatistix and his rival is bound to be a knockout.

In ASTERIX IN BRITAIN, one little ancient British village still holds out against the Roman invaders. Asterix and Obelix are invited to help, facing fog, warm beer, and a wild chase for magic potion that ends in the first ever tea-party.

In ASTERIX AND THE NORMANS, a Norman invasion threatens the Gaulish village, but the Gauls - and Asterix and Obelix - are armed with their magic potion and must teach the Normans about meaning of fear.

In ASTERIX THE LEGIONARY, Asterix and Obelix join the Roman army - who'd have expected to see Asterix in a legionary's uniform?! - to rescue Obelix's true love's fiancé from North Africa, leaving Centurions baffled as their mission turns into a smashing adventure.
