Description

This comic book features the album "Caesar's Gift", an adventure of Asterix the Gaul, written by Goscinny and illustrated by Uderzo. The cover shows Asterix and Obelix in vibrant colors, positioned to the right on a white background, with a stylized combat scene in the background. The title is printed in black and red letters, with "Caesar" highlighted in very large font. The mentions "Text by Goscinny" and "Drawings by Uderzo" appear on the cover, as does the Dargaud publisher's logo at the bottom left. Uderzo's signature is also visible at the bottom right.

The cover is hardback with a glossy finish, typical of Dargaud editions. The album features clean edges, with no apparent dust jacket elements. Asterix, true to his classic appearance, wears his winged helmet, a black tunic, a sword at his waist, and red trousers. Obelix is depicted with his famous blue striped overalls, red pigtails, and horned helmet. Dogmatix is visible at the bottom right. The central scene, in silhouettes, evokes a typical Gaulish brawl from the series.

The color palette alternates between the vibrant tones of the main characters and the gray shades of the crowd in the background, creating a strong graphic contrast. The texts are perfectly legible and the lettering of the title respects the graphic charter of Asterix albums from that period.

The upper left edge shows slight visible wear, typical of an album that has circulated. No major defects are visible on the front face: no stains, deep scratches, or bothersome scuffs. The overall appearance is clean and well-maintained.

The cover explicitly indicates that it is a Dargaud edition. According to the keywords, it is a 1992 publication, which corresponds to a print run later than the first edition, but consistent with the 90s style for this series.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The entire front face is in good visual condition, with slight signs of wear on the upper left edge. No snags or visible tears on the hardback cover.
