ASTERIX OMNIBUS PAPERCUTZ ED HC VOL 09 (C: 0-1-1)(W) Goscinny, Rene (A) Uderzo, AlbertPAPERCUTZStockID: 68566 SKU: DEC221510Contains 3 newly-translated classic Asterix tales. Asterix is a fearless Gaul with a magic potion that grants him incredible strength to protect his village and ward off Roman Empire from invading. With his pal- Obelix- the defend their village from not only the blundering Roman legionairies- but also lend their services to the rest of the world. First- Asterix and Obelix take on a new career as matchmakers as they help star-crossed lovers take on their warring factions. Perhaps Panoramix can whip up a love potion? Can the power of love cross 'The Great Divide'? Second- Asterix and Obelix must go drilling for Oil to fulfill a druid recipe- but to get 'The Black Gold-' they have to outwit a spy with his cutting edge ancient spy technology. Well- at least Obelix has his brute strength. Then- third- when a baby shows up at Asterix's front door he is thrust into fatherhood- but you know what they say- it takes a village. Is this more psychological warfare from the Romans or just the miracle of birth? Plus: a new Afterword by Alexander Simmons providing historical and cultural context for Asterix- both in 50 B.C. and in the time the classic comics were made.This is a PRESALE.
