Asterix and the Griffin

When the unyielding Gauls must cross inhospitable lands to stop Caesar's forces from capturing the legendary griffin, the result is Asterix and the Griffin , the thrilling and entertaining 39th volume of Asterix's adventures.

Asterix, Obelix, and Ideafix are back in a new adventure. Accompanied by the famous druid Panoramix, they prepare to set off on a long journey in search of a strange and terrifying creature in the unknown lands of Barbaricum to help the Sarmatian people.

Half-eagle, half-lion, and a complete enigma, the griffin is Caesar's newest object of desire, and he will spare no effort to obtain it and carry out his most despicable plans. The Gauls must then embark on this journey, fighting Roman forces to help the Sarmatians prevent Caesar's forces from seizing this marvelous creature.

Produced by the talented duo of Jean-Yves Ferri (script) and Didier Conrad (illustrator), Asterix and the Griffin is an epic adventure filled with traps for our heroes as they search for this fantastic beast. It is the legacy of the fabulous universe created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, carried forward with respect and mastery.

"As irreducible as they are, they are fun. And they have been irreducibly entertaining for over 60 years." - Omelete

"Uderzo is part of a select group of comic book artists who created a unique and fully recognizable look for a group of characters. The Gauls' clothes, hair, beards, and mustaches are a trademark. In an imaginary comic book hall of fame, they would rank among Mauricio de Sousa's big-headed boys and Steve Ditko's iconic Spider-Man costume." - Thales de Menezes for Folha de São Paulo

"The enduring popularity of Asterix has intrigued critics for decades, even after the series surpassed 380 million books, been translated into 111 languages, and spawned dozens of adaptations across multiple media. In France, Asterix is a treasured icon, a global success that is a source of national pride." – NPR
