Asterix: Asterix Omnibus 2

Asterix: Asterix Omnibus 2 offers a delightful collection of three beloved tales from the iconic series, crafted by the talented René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo. This collector's edition invites readers into a world of humour, adventure, and the enduring spirit of friendship.

The Plot

This omnibus includes:

• Asterix the Gladiator: In a daring escapade, Asterix and his loyal companion Obelix find themselves forced into the brutal world of gladiatorial combat to rescue the bard Cacofonix from a rather grim fate involving a lion.
• Asterix and the Banquet: The duo embarks on a culinary quest, overcoming Roman obstacles to gather a feast of regional delicacies across Gaul, showcasing their indomitable spirit and cleverness.
• Asterix and Cleopatra: Their journey takes them to Egypt, where they encounter the majestic Cleopatra and explore the wonders of her domain, all while maintaining their characteristic wit and camaraderie.

The plots are rich with puns, visual gags, and clever wordplay, making them not only entertaining for children but also enjoyable for adult readers. Goscinny's sharp writing and Uderzo's vibrant illustrations combine to bring the characters and their adventures to life, reminding us of the power of friendship and the joy of adventure.

“These tales are a celebration of the strength found in unity and the light-hearted defiance of the Roman Empire.”

Fans of Asterix may also appreciate other works in the series, as well as similar graphic novels that blend humour with historical elements. This omnibus stands as a testament to the timeless appeal of Asterix and his friends.
