Contains 3 newly-translated classic Asterix tales. Asterix is a fearless Gaul with a magic potion that grants him incredible strength to protect his village and ward off Roman Empire from invading. With his pal, Obelix, the defend their village from not only the blundering Roman legionairies, but also lend their services to the rest of the world. First, Asterix and Obelix's fishing trip goes wrong when they make "The Great Crossing" and wind up on the shores of North America. Neither America, nor Asterix, will ever be the same after this comical invasion. Second, Obelix gets the spotlight as his delivery service for stone menhir slabs gets a Roman update, becoming "Obelix and Co." Will Obelix be too greedy? Probably! Then, third, watch your waffles, it's "Asterix in Belgium," writer and Asterix co-creator René Goscinny's final story before his untimely death. It's a tale of two tribes as the Gauls and the Belgians unite, and then unravel, all to keep out Caesar's forces. Plus: a new Afterword by Alexander Simmons providing historical and cultural context for Asterix, both in 50 B.C. and in the time the classic comics were made.

Albert Uderzo (Fismes, France, April 25, 1927 – Neuilly-sur-Seine, March 24, 2020) was a French cartoonist and scriptwriter of Italian origin, world-famous as the co-creator of Asterix the Gaul alongside scriptwriter René Goscinny. From a young age, Uderzo showed exceptional talent for drawing and forged his career in French children's magazines, captivating with characters and panels full of humor and wit. The son of Italian immigrants, his childhood was marked by effort and creativity, as well as an early fascination with Walt Disney's heroes.

In 1959, together with Goscinny, he brought to life the indomitable Gauls Asterix and Obelix in the magazine Pilote, characters who, thanks to their social critique and historical references, won over readers of all ages. The Asterix series, turned into a European comic icon, was translated into dozens of languages, sold hundreds of millions of copies, and was adapted for both cinema and television, elevating the comic to the status of a global cultural phenomenon.

After Goscinny's death in 1977, Uderzo continued the saga as the sole author until his retirement in 2009, establishing himself as an undisputed reference in the ninth art. His career was recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Legion of Honor in France, the Eisner Award, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Paris. Uderzo's legacy endures through generations, inspiring readers and artists, and reaffirming the value of graphic art as a vehicle for humor, social critique, and universal storytelling.
