The Complete Asterix Box set (38 titles)

I purchased this collection because it had 38 books, the other box set I was considering had 37 books. Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter was released 6 months ago and is book #38. While the books obviously come in a box, it's not a display box so you have to pull each book out to find the one you want. I feel that for $250+ a display box would be a nice addition. This really is a great set and if you're a big Asterix fan it's definitely worth adding to your collection. I grew up on these books so it's awesome that I get to take the adventure again with my son as we read them together. One of my pictures shows the spines with the authors names. You can see where Uderzo took over after Goscinny sadly passed in 1977 and then when Uderzo retired and handed responsibilities of the books to Ferri/Conrad. I haven't read the newer books yet but I'm sure they follow the same great format as Ferri/Conrad were mentored by Uderzo. The complete list of 38 books in this set: Asterix the Gaul Asterix and the Golden Sickle Asterix and the Goths Asterix the Gladiator Asterix and the Banquet Asterix and Cleopatra Asterix and the Big Fight Asterix in Britain Asterix and the Normans Asterix the Legionary Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield Asterix at the Olympic Games Asterix and the Cauldron Asterix in Spain Asterix and the Roman Agent Asterix in Switzerland The Mansions of the Gods Asterix and the Laurel Wreath Asterix and the Soothsayer Asterix in Corsica Asterix and Caesar's Gift Asterix and the Great Crossing Obelix and Co. Asterix in Belgium Asterix and the Great Divide Asterix and the Black Gold Asterix and Son Asterix and the Magic Carpet Asterix and the Secret Weapon Asterix and Obelix All at Sea Asterix and the Actress Asterix and the Class Act Asterix and the Falling Sky Asterix and Obelix's Birthday Asterix and the Picts Asterix and the Missing Scroll Asterix and the Chariot race Asterix and the Chieftain's daughter

Classic that every child should know. My children love them and the box is great to keep them safe and in one place.

Very nice set. As described.

Excellent set of comics for all ages

Es un regalo para mis sobrinos, de niño los los leí y es una excelente forma de fomentar la lectura

Even if the boxing and two books were a bit damaged, the price is great for the whole collection.

Excellent Asterix collection with all 40 albums included. Fast shipping and well packaged.

The speed of delivery and condition of the books were above expectations. The packaging was such that the collection could have probably been air-dropped from five hundred feet without damage. Opening the package was like cracking a safe. As noted, the books were in perfect condition, the printing and art are crystal clear and the colors are bright. My only criticism is that the books are not numbered on their covers. If you manage to scramble them you can refer to the list inside most front covers to straighten them out. It is easier to put number stickers on them right after you finally get the box open. My grandson is a huge Asterix fan and this hoard will provide me with lots of birthday, Christmas and just-because gifts that I know will be appreciated.
