With the publication of more than a dozen albums in little over a year, the Asterix Grand Collection has become a permanent feature on shelves of avid readers of the most famous of all Gauls.It was high time that the official Asterix.com site offered a couple of pages devoted to this collection, which lets the best of Gaulish history make the most of XXIst century printing and publication techniques.
So here is the special Asterix Grand Collection mini-site, where you will discover, in word and image, the different steps involved in restoring the Asterix albums (new inking, new lettering, new colours, etc.). You can also compare the plates before and after restoration, cast an expert collector’s eye on the brand new eight-page contained within each album, and discover all the titles which have already been published. Enjoy!
