Astérix #2

A beloved adventure from Goscinny and Uderzo's timeless series, this 1992 France Loisirs edition of *Astérix et les Goths* presents the irrepressible Gaulish duo in fine form. The cover captures Astérix and the rotund, ever-enthusiastic Obélix mid-stride across what appears to be a border crossing, with a sign marking the boundary between Gaul, the Roman Empire, and territories beyond — Roman soldiers visible in the background looking on with characteristic unease. It's a wonderfully dynamic image that sets the tone for the cross-border mischief that defines this chapter of Gaul's most spirited village defenders.
