Asterix Omnibus #8
In "Asterix and the Great Crossing," the trio of Asterix, Obelix, and Dogmatix set out on a simple fishing trip that takes a surprising turn when they're swept across the Atlantic and end up in North America. Captured by the eccentric Vikings Huntingseåssen and Herendethelessen, they're brought back to Scandinavia, where they encounter a mysterious slave from Gaul—hinting at a far-reaching mystery. With René Goscinny’s sharp wit and Albert Uderzo’s expressive artistry on full display, this classic adventure blends humor and adventure with a touch of historical curiosity, all rendered in the unmistakable style that defines the series. The cover, by Uderzo himself, captures the journey’s whimsical spirit.
