About the Book: This collector’s volume unites Asterix and the Great Crossing, Obelix and Co., and Asterix in Belgium into one delightful paperback. In Asterix and the Great Crossing, a storm sweeps Asterix and Obelix across the Atlantic to a strange New World of teepees, gobbling birds, and curious rituals. Obelix and Co. humorously critique capitalism when Caesar dispatches Preposterus to corrupt the village with a booming menhir trade—yet, wealth brings no joy to Obelix, and harmony is restored after the bubble bursts. In Asterix in Belgium, the Gauls and bellicose Belgian tribes compete to prove who is bravest before uniting to deal Caesar a symbolic defeat—cementing solidarity among the Gaulish allies.
