ASTERIX AND THE VIKINGS

Asterix, the comic hero from the Roman era and the first international superhero, continues to conquer the world. With hundreds of millions of copies sold in 107 languages and dialects, plus 11,000 websites devoted to the character, these engagingly witty and record-breaking books have become the highest-selling series ever—surpassing even Harry Potter! And the phenomenon is spreading to other media, including the upcoming film—with an all-star cast and theme song by Celine Dion—that inspired this latest hysterical historical tale. Asterix and Obelix embark on one of their most dangerous missions, voyaging to the Vikings’ home territory to rescue Justforkix. Making matters even harder for our heroes? The Viking chief’s daughter, Abba, has fallen for Justforkix! A 16-page supplement reveals inside info about the making of the film.
