Desperate, the inhabitants of New München beg Luke to talk to the brewers of Milwaukee. But the cause of the shortage is a strike, and the cowboy is more used to chasing outlaws in the Great Plains than to forcing negotiations between unions and bosses in a city where the first skyscrapers are already sprouting …

Pour le protéger dans cette compétition suivie de près par les romains, Astérix et Obélix sont chargés de l'accompagner : ils ne doivent pas quitter Assurancetourix des yeux ; quitte à y perdre une oreille !

In this book you will find volumes 3 to 5: The Land Without Stars,
Welcome to Alflolol and Birds of the Master - three stories that
introduce the societal criticism aspect of the series. Battle of the
sexes, totalitarianism and extreme productivism are lambasted, but
never at the expense of fantasy or of the action. And as they travel
from world to distant world, Laureline becomes a truly equal partner, far from the stereotypical female sidekick roles of the time.
Finally, the second part of the exclusive interview with the authors
and director Luc Besson is followed by an in-depth portrait of Pierre
Christin, the writer.
The last volume of this magnificent collection, which includes the final three books of the main saga, bringing to a close the adventures of Valerian, Laureline and the vanished Earth in style.
Les Pictes ? Oui, les Pictes ! Ces peuples de l'ancienne Ecosse, redoutables guerriers aux multiples clans, dont le nom, donné par les Romains, signifie littéralement « les hommes peints ». Astérix chez les Pictes promet donc un voyage épique vers une contrée riche de traditions, à la découverte d'un peuple dont les différences culturelles se traduiront en gags et jeux de mots mémorables.
César veut faire disparaître le petit village gaulois qui le nargue. Pour cela, il veut faire construire tout autour une ville romaine modèle. Ainsi, le village isolé devra - selon lui - disparaître ou s'adapter et devenir romain.
L'architecte de la ville se heurte d'abord aux Gaulois qui l'empêchent de déboiser la forêt. Mais ces derniers laissent finalement faire pour que les esclaves chargés de ce travail puissent être libérés. Une fois le premier bâtiment construit et les locataires romains arrivés sur place, la situation se dégrade vite dans le petit village : tout le monde cherche à profiter de cette nouvelle clientèle.
César vient de soumettre l'Hispanie à Rome. Enfin presque, car un petit village résiste encore et toujours à l'envahisseur. Il capture alors le fils du chef du village et l'envoie en otage au camp de Babaorum afin qu'il y reçoive une éducation romaine.
Mais les Gaulois récupèrent le petit garçon et Astérix et Obélix se chargent de le ramener dans son village en Hispanie. Lors de ce long voyage, ils devront lutter contre les Romains qui veulent récupérer l'otage et ... contre les caprices du petit garçon !
