Home-cinema fans "in the know" have a choice: either to discover their favourite films in DVD format or to sample the experience in high definition with Blu-Ray. Here, in the indomitable Gauls' virtual village, there's still a few of us who cling to the prehistoric era of VHS cassettes... suffice to say, they are old hat these days…On the other hand, when it comes to the greatest classic in the comic book world, the clued-up comic book fans that we are have no need to hesitate: Asterix truly deserves his Grand Collection!
The equivalent of high definition for comic books, the Asterix Grand Collection lets you assemble all the adventures of the winged-helmet Gaul in large format edition, featuring restored inking, lettering and colours. There really isn't any better way of admiring the wealth of detail and wonderful artistry of Albert Uderzo's drawings.And just recently, two new albums have been added to this collection: Asterix and the Great Divide, where love and politics collide in an epic, hilarious melodrama, plus Asterix and the Black Gold, which shows that even if the Gauls have any petra oleum (petrol), they're never short of ideas for how to have some fun! Two albums for two unforgettable stars: the ghastly Codfix in Asterix and the Great Divide, and the spy Dubbelosix, a caricature in homage to Sean Connery, in Asterix and the Black Gold. |
