Synopsis:

Enjoy this fantastic spin-off to the timeless classic series ASTERIX, translated and distributed for the first time in North America.

Dogmatix and his fine furry (or feathery!) friends are unstoppable - indomitable - in 52 B.C.E. And they stand up to the Roman invaders, like General Labienus and his pack of dogs. Lutetia will not be completely conquered!
