Asterix Omnibus #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis eighth omnibus in the 2014 Orion series collects three classic Asterix adventures: Asterix and the Great Crossing (#22), where the Gauls cross the Atlantic and encounter a new world; Obelix and Co. (#23), which sees Obelix become a business tycoon under Roman influence; and Asterix in Belgium (#24), a journey to the land of the Belgae that pits Asterix against a rival tribe's hospitality. Together, these stories showcase Goscinny and Uderzo's signature blend of historical satire and slapstick humor, spanning the series' later golden era.
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.
