What the druids have to say about Asterix and the class act

La rentrée gauloise (Asterix and the Class Act) presents the complete stories (1 to 5 pages) created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. Veritable gems where you will find all the warmth and humour of the famous duo.

This Special Edition is a must-have if you want an overview of more than 40 years of adventures. Thicker than a normal album, it includes more than 20 original pages not featured in the 1993 limited edition which was organised with Gaumont video, as well as ten unpublished pages: 56 pages with such gems as Chanticleerix (5 unpublished pages), the Gaulish cock, which will certainly need some serious practice if it is to wake our little sleepyheads on the first day of the new school year, or the Birth of Asterix (4 pages unpublished in album form), where we meet for the first time the parents of Asterix and Obelix, all signed by Albert Uderzo, in addition to pages created by the René Goscinny/Albert Uderzo duo in the 1960s and 1970s.
