Asterix in Britain

In 1976, Hodder & Stoughton published the first English-language edition of Asterix in Britain, a standalone comic adventure translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge from the original French story by Goscinny and Uderzo. This single issue adapts the beloved Gaulish warrior’s journey to a rainy, tea-drinking Britain, offering a warm and witty cultural clash that showcases the series’ trademark humor and sharp character work. As a key entry in the Asterix library, it remains a fondly remembered introduction to the British spin on the classic series.
