Asterix Omnibus 2

Description

In this fabulous collector's edition of Asterix, the last three Asterix stories are collected in one volume for the first time ever. In Asterix and The Actress, we see Asterix and Obelix celebrate their joint birthday party back in the Gaulish village - and some surprise guests have been invited! In Asterix and the Class Act we have the story of the creation of Asterix, including the day Asterix and Obelix were born (in the middle of a village fish fight), how Obelix goes back to school and the bid for the very first Gaulish Olympics. In Asterix and the Falling Sky the Gauls's one fear - that the sky may fall on their heads - looks like it might come true, but our friends soon find themselves in the middle of a space race...
