In this collector's edition, three Asterix stories are collected in one volume. In Asterix the Legionary, Obelix falls in love! Unfortunately, the object of his affections is engaged to Tragicomix - a conscript in the Roman army. Asterix and Obelix join up to rescue Tragicomix and save the day. In Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield, Caesar plans to hold a triumph featuring the shield of his defeated enemy, Vercingetorix. But the shield is missing! Romans and Gauls race to track it down. In Asterix and the Olympic Games, the athletes of the ancient world assemble in Athens to compete. Asterix and the Gauls enter too but their magic potion is banned! Can our heroes win without it?
