On October 28, MMXXV, Mad Cave Studios and Papercutz are releasing the new volume of adventures about the most famous Gauls in: Asterix in Lusitania

Asterix is a fearless Gaul with a magic potion that grants him incredible strength to protect his village and ward off the Roman Empire from invading. With his pal, Obelix, they not only defend their village from the blundering Roman legionaries, but also lend their services to the rest of the world.

First published in 1959, Asterix follows the adventures of a diminutive, yet fearless Gallic warrior as he defends his village from Julius Caesar and his Roman legions. Although he is outnumbered and has modest means compared to the Roman army, Asterix does have in his arsenal, a magic potion that gives him superpowers. He also has the help of best friend Obelix, who, as a child, fell into the druid’s cauldron, in which the magic potion is made.

More from Papercutz:

Asterix in Lusitania, unlike their expedition to the distant snowy steppes of the Sarmatian lands (Asterix and the Griffin, 2021), finds the duo are heading to a much sunnier clime.

Asterix in Lusitania

One beautiful spring morning, a stranger arrives in the village. He’s come from Lusitania, that sunny land to the west of Hispania that’s also under the yoke of Rome.

This former slave, who we met in “Mansions of the Gods” [collected in Papercutz’ ASTERIX Omnibus #6], knows about the effects of the Magic Potion and has come to ask our indomitable Gauls for help. A new adventure for Asterix and Obelix is about to begin!
