In 2007 A.D., Poland is the place to be for Asterix and Obelix: the album Asterix and Obelix all at sea has just been reissued in both hardcover and softcover versions in Polish.Last July 18, Doubleclix’s Blog shared the great news about the Asterix and the Secret Agent reissue in Poland. Now it’s Obelix’s turn to be in the spotlight with the reissue of the book Asterix and Obelix all at sea.
Indeed, Obelix plays the leading role in this album, being confronted with great difficulties… But that’s just what happens when you don’t listen to Getafix and drink magic potion without his permission!
As usual in Poland, the book is available in two versions: hardcover and softcover. For our druids in charge of preserving the International Gaulish Heritage, that means two new editions to be discovered in our Asterix Translation Exchange.
