Asterix

Papercutz is proud to take over US publishing of the world’s bestselling comics series Asterix in honor of his 60th anniversary!

Asterix is the main character in a village of holdout Gauls who were never vanquished by the occupying Roman army. One reason they’ve successfully held off the Roman forces: a secret potion the village’s druid Panoramix knows how to concoct that makes all the village’s citizens super-powerful! Well, at least for a short period of time.

*Asterix titles are excluded from site-wide sales*

*Includes 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 addressing various racial depictions*
