The Asterix Phenomenon – A Timeless Comic Legacy
The Complete Asterix Box set (38 titles) Paperback ISBN: 9789389253191
First appearing in Pilote magazine on October 29, 1959, Asterix quickly became a global sensation. With the first comic book, Asterix the Gaul, published in 1961 with just 6,000 copies, the series has since skyrocketed to over 370 million copies sold worldwide. That’s enough books, if laid end to end, to circle the Earth twice—and they’d weigh a staggering 12,900 tonnes, the equivalent of 400 fully-loaded 35-ton trucks!
Translated into 111 languages and dialects, Asterix has transcended cultures and generations, inspiring 9 animated films, 4 live-action movies, and even a theme park—Le Parc Astérix—in France. The series spans 34 official titles, each filled with humor, adventure, and clever social commentary.
This collectible edition {The Complete Asterix Box set (38 titles) Paperback ISBN: 9789389253191}continues the legacy with four beloved adventures: Asterix and the Big Fight, Asterix in Britain, Asterix and the Normans, and Asterix and the Chieftain’s Shield. While the French creative team has evolved over time, the English translations remain in the masterful hands of Anthea Bell, whose wit and energy have brought Asterix’s world to life for English readers since the beginning.
With unforgettable characters and bizarre, delightful adventures, Asterix remains a magical comic like no other—timeless, funny, and endlessly entertaining.
