Asterix Collector Vol. 4: Asterix the Gladiator

The international bestseller comic, ASTERIX, returns in a hardcover collector volume, with never-before-released archival photos and insights.

Asterix suits up and prepares some good slaps in this continuation of the classic comic series, reprinted in a deluxe collector format.

Rene Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926. After growing up in Argentina, he came to America where he shared a studio with future Mad magazine co-founder Harvey Kurtzman and collaborators Will Elder and Jack Davis. In 1959, he founded the magazine Pilote which premiered what was to become the most successful comic series anywhere: Asterix. He died suddenly of cardiac arrest in 1977 at the age of 51.
