René Goscinny

We find "Asterix in Switzerland" as the indomitable Gaulish warrior yodels in the Alps, has plenty of holey cheese, and stumbles upon Helvetica. Then, the villagers are tempted with "The Mansion of the Gods" with all the modern luxuries of Rome when a new housing development threatens to urbanize (and Romanize) their humble tribe. Finally, it is a true Roman circus as Obelix and Asterix head to Rome to get a key ingredient to the Chieftain's soup, Caesar's Laurel Wreath. What will become of "Asterix and the Laurel Wreath" and will Rome ever be the same? These three classic graphic novels are newly translated especially for an American audience. Includes 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 addressing various racial depictions

Rene Goscinnyn ja Albert Uderzon mestariteos vuodelta 1972 tuntuu olevan vuosi vuodelta vain ajankohtaisempi. Katteettomia lupauksia ja karmivia tulevaisuudenkuvia apunaan käyttävä ennustaja pistää pienen gallialaisen kylän pasmat kunnolla sekaisin, ja pian ovat suomalaisetkin portilla. Onneksi Asterixin ja Akvavitixin edustamat järjen äänet voittavat ja lopussa pidetään pidot. Tätä huumoriklassikkoa ajan hammas ei ole nakertanut, sillä politiikkaan mahtuu aina kieroilijoita ja herkkäuskoisiakin löytyy aina.

Yksi Goscinnyn ja Uderzon parhaista albumeista taas saatavana! Roomalaiset yrittävät tuhota gallialaisten kylän rakentamalla läheisyyteen uusia huippulukaaleja, mutta Asterixia ei niin vain huiputeta...

Egypts vakre, storsnutede dronning Kleopatra vil vise den arrogante Cæsar at hennes folk er like genialt som før - hun skal få bygget et praktpalass på bare tre måneder! Den stakkars arkitekten hennes, Linealis, ber sine galliske venner om hjelp. Asterix, Obelix og Miraculix får hendene fulle med å utmanøvrere skurkaktige motstandere, men de får også tid til å være turister og sette spor etter seg i Egypt og på sfinksens nese.

Den store Asterix 8 indeholder de to klassiske historier Lus i skindpelsen og Asterix i Alperne samt et omfattende og rigt illustreret ekstramateriale på 60 sider om ,hvordan Goscinny og Uderzo skabte tegneserien, sjove detaljer fra serien, persongalleriet, livet i Romerriget og meget mere. Asterix-historierne bringes i den originale rækkefølge, som Goscinny og Uderzo skabte dem. Om Lus i skindpelsenI senatet i Rom ulmer et oprør mod Cæsar, der beskyldes for at være handlingslammet, og han beslutter derfor én gang for alle at udslette den lille, oprørske gallerlandsby højt mod nord. Men gallerne har jo trylledrikken, så hvordan? Jo, hvis man nu sår splid mellem dem - så de ikke længere har et ubrydeligt sammenhold? Som sagt, så gjort: Cæsar hyrer den infame Pschychopathus Provocalorius, om hvem det siges, at splidagtigheden viser sit irgrønne fjæs, hvor han kommer frem. Og ganske rigtigt: Snart står landsbyen på den anden ende, Asterix anklages for at have solgt trylledrikken til romerne, og Hørmetix' fisk kastes hid og did overalt. Bliver det virkelig landsbyens endeligt? Om Asterix i AlperneGuvernøren Corpus Bombastus mistænkes for at berige sig på Roms bekostning og afholde overdådigt ødsle orgier. Cæsar sender den regelrette kvæstor Summa Summarum til guvernørens provins for at undersøge sagen - men den svigagtige guvernør forgifter ham! Da Miraculix får nys om det, sørger han at få bragt den dødeligt syge kvæstor til gallernes landsby. Men for at fremstille en helbredende mikstur har Miraculix brug for den sjældne blomst edelweiss - og mest effektive vokser på de højeste bjergtinder i Alperne. Asterix og Obelix kommer på en mildt sagt usædvanlig mission og er snart omgivet af kukure, bankhemmeligheder, alpehorn, smeltet os og øresønderrivende helvetisk jodlen. Den store Asterix er den ultimative luksusudgave af Goscinny og Uderzos populære tegneserie. Større format end nogen sinde før og i solid indbinding med stofryg, guldpræg og relieflak. Der udkommer fremover to nye bind af Den store Asterix hvert år.

Julius Cæsar håner dronning Kleopatra ved at hævde, at ægyptere ikke kan bygge andet end pyramider. Kleopatra bliver så edderspændt rasende, at hun kommer til at love Cæsar at opføre et overdådigt pragtpalads til hans ære på kun tre måneder. Kleopatras stakkels hofarkitekt Linealis ved godt, at det ikke kan lade sig gøre – i hvert fald ikke uden magi. Men så kommer han i tanke om, at han kender en gallisk druide … og der går ikke lang tid, før Asterix, Obelix og Miraculix er på vej til Ægypten.
