I have to sell off all my Asterix prints over the next few days. My licence from the publishers ends then.
So, if you've got your eye on one of my my hand-pulled images of the Belgo-French icons, now - right now - really is the time.
Everything is at a 33% discount. This discount will be applied at checkout when you use code: Asterix33.
Asterix and I are roughly the same age. Asterix The Gaul - the first book featuring small-but-shrewd Asterix and his large-but-slow chum Obelix - appeared in 1961, as did I.
So, in a sense, we grew up together.
My mother was happy about this because of the culture I was absorbing by associating with him: languages and (dodgy) history.
To say nothing of the brilliant translations by Anthea Bell (older sister of the war-reporter-in-the-white-suit Martin Bell).
Asterix and Obelix - originally written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo - have now appeared in more than 40 books (selling more than 380 million, compared to a total of 270 for Tintin).
Then I can send you special offers and alerts when I make new editions.
