Asterix Collector HC Vol. 05: Asterix and the Banquet

Re-releasing the classic Asterix adventures in a larger, high-format hardcover, this volume presents archival illustrations and scans alongside the familiar merriment. In Asterix and the Banquet, Asterix bets a Roman Prefect that Gaul’s independence can endure if he can travel across Gaul collecting feasts. He’s joined by Obelix, and together they chase delicacies while outwitting Roman guards. The story swirls with village mischief, brisk chases, and witty wordplay that have kept these characters timeless. It also introduces the iconic tree-loving terrier, Dogmatix, adding a fresh spark to the action. Created by writer René Goscinny and artist Albert Uderzo (Uderzo also on the cover), the tale showcases their expressive art and humor. This volume invites new readers and longtime fans to savor the charm, warmth, and brisk adventure that define the Asterix world.
