Ferri, Jean-Yves; Didier Conrad, Didier "Asterix and the Missing Scroll" (French: Le Papyrus de César) - 2015

"All of Gaul is under Roman control, except for one small village of indomitable Gauls that still holds out against the Romans."

I have loved Asterix for as long as they have existed. Well, for as long as I have known about them which was not long after the first editions came out. I even read a French one when I was in school. (Asterix and the Banquet or Le Tour de Gaule d’Astérix)

So, as every Asterix fan, I was sad when first René Goscinny died and then Albert Uderzo stopped working on them, as well. But I still had to get the next edition (even if I wouldn't, my husband wanted it anyway). The newest one is called "Asterix and the Missing Scroll". As all of the other Asterix stories, this one is about real life, this time about information control. A papyrus goes missing that reveals some hidden political story and a journalist goes looking after it. Julian Assange in Gaul? Why not, they've had the Romans there and the Vikings, they've been going through all sorts of history so far, why not take on the current affairs.

For any Asterix fan, this is a must.
