Astérix - L'intégrale #1

This handsome 2009 France Loisirs hardcover collection puts Obélix front and center — quite literally, as the lovable, pigtailed menhir-deliverer is framed through an oversized magnifying glass on the deep-red cover, his round face caught mid-expression with characteristic gusto. *Astérix — L'intégrale* promises a generous gathering of adventures starring the Gaulish village's most enthusiastic warrior, and this first volume is a wonderful entry point into that beloved world. A great addition to any Franco-Belgian comics shelf.
