Asterix

René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo’s beloved Gaulish hero made his English-language debut in this 12-issue run from Oberon and Dargaud Benelux (1976–1983), collecting the classic adventures of the indomitable village that still holds out against the Roman legions. Anchored by Goscinny’s witty scripts and Uderzo’s expressive, dynamic art, the series introduced a global audience to Asterix’s cleverness, Obelix’s strength, and a world of pun-filled, historically playful satire. It stands as the definitive English presentation of the duo’s most celebrated work, cementing the series’ status as a cornerstone of European comics.
