Not to be missed!

Asterix right on time for a new Gaulish French Open!

The official asterix.com website

It truly is a great day for our Indomitable Gauls: the 2007 edition of the Tournament of the Indomitable begins!
And what a first round! Many great games are on schedule, and it’s sometimes really hard to guess who will make its way through to the next round… Let’s see: Cacofonix or Maestria? It surely is music to my ears! Will Cassius Ceramix have its revenge against Vitalstatistix?

Will Chanticleerix be strong enough to represent Gaul against a more imperial than ever Julius Caesar?
One thing is for sure: every year, this incredible Tournament means a lot of fun! Get voting !

Two new Asterix albums in The Grand Collection!

Edition - The official asterix.com website - The Grand Collection - The Translation Exchange

The French Asterix Grand Collection is even grander today thanks to the publication of two new titles: Asterix Gladiateur and La Rose et le Glaive.
They have been re-coloured, retyped, and re-inked with one sole aim: to give these two great classics in the comic strip world the excellent presentation they deserve. The “extra large” format will allow you to appreciate more than ever the incredible wealth of detail in Albert Uderzo’s meticulous drawings.
These two publications will also contribute towards the completion of the bookshelf “frieze” which appears when the album spines in this magnificent collection are lined up together.
These books will be released in Germany in autumn 2007. Stay connected to Doubleclix’s Blog to learn more about other releases.
As for now, they have just been added to Bravura’s bookshop and in the Translation Exchange.
