Astérix - L'intégrale #3

This handsome hardcover collection from France Loisirs places the vain, gold-adorned Goudurix front and center — examined under a magnifying glass against a rich crimson background, as if the village's most insufferable teenager is finally getting the scrutiny he deserves. The *L'intégrale* format promises a generous gathering of Astérix adventures in a beautifully bound edition that's as much a pleasure to display as it is to read. A fine addition to any Franco-Belgian comics shelf, this 2009 volume makes the beloved Gaulish universe easy to revisit in style.
