Asterix in Britain #[nn]

This hardcover collection presents the classic Asterix adventure set across the English Channel, where the indomitable Gaul and his friend Obelix travel to ancient Britain to help a beleaguered tribe resist Roman occupation. Originally serialized in Pilote magazine in 1965, this edition from Brockhampton Press features the English translation by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge, capturing the witty wordplay and cultural satire that define the series. The story includes memorable gags about British customs, from warm beer to the legendary British reserve, all rendered in the distinctive art of Albert Uderzo and the writing of René Goscinny.
