Asterix #27

This volume collects the 26th Asterix adventure, originally serialized in 1981, in which the indomitable Gaulish warrior and his friend Obelix journey to the Middle East in search of a vital substance—petroleum—needed to fuel a Roman project. The story, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, sends the duo on a globe-trotting quest that blends historical satire with the series' trademark humor. Published by Hodder & Stoughton as part of their English-language reprint series, this edition presents the classic tale in a standard album format.
