It's been several months since the events of The Yellow M, but the
evil of Professor Septimus still echoes around London. Important

Mortimer, he too is trying, albeit for more humanist reasons, to revive certain aspects of Septimus's work - to Blake's extreme
concern...

Au village, l'agitation règne : Assurancetourix a décidé de participer au célèbre concours de chant des bardes gaulois pour remporter le menhir d'or.
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 !
Vendue pour la première fois sous la forme d'un livre-disque en 1967, Le Menhir d'or est devenue quasiment introuvable et n'a jamais été publiée en album.
Cette histoire écrite avec la truculence de René Goscinny pour un enregistrement audio et illustrée pour le livret accompagnant le disque avec le génie graphique d'Albert Uderzo est un petit bijou à redécouvrir. Elle méritait d'être mise en valeur en rejoignant aujourd'hui la collection des albums illustrés d'Astérix aux côtés de Comment Obélix est tombé dans la Marmite de Potion Magique..., Les 12 Travaux d'Astérix et Le Secret de la Potion Magique.
Jacques is dead, burned at the stake for sorcery by terrified

merely the reincarnation of all-powerful Icelandic sorcerer Grimu.
His soul, freed at the moment of his second death, has possessed the

terrible deeds. The island's authorities are after him, though, and
far worse than that: God himself has turned his eye towards the man
who defies him ...
In Palombia, the president is throwing a lavish completion ceremony
for a colossal project: a dam across the mighty river Huaytoonarro.

has other piranhas to fry: Mrs Marsupilami has disappeared. Our
friend's nose tells him that it was the doing of Bring M. Backalive,
the famous hunter, and he rushes after the kidnapper, soon followed by Sarah and Bip ... and then the situation becomes even more
complicated!
After inadvertently thwarting a convict’s escape attempt, Rin Tin Can flees the penitentiary and ends up with two sheep herders who are being targeted by wool thieves. The robbers, Giuseppe and Aldo, are actually looking for a specific sheep skin tattooed with a treasure map, in order to post their father’s bail.

Mortimer is brought to the camp of General Li Hsi, the Chinese
warlord, where he is reunited with a seriously injured Nasir. The
professor was kidnapped in order to recover the archaeological proof
of the general's imperial lineage, but also to repair the Red Wing, a
formidable combat aircraft Olrik unwittingly delivered. While Blake
moves heaven and earth to find him and protect Hong Kong, Mortimer escapes to go in search of the only thing that can save Nasir: a
legendary pearl ...

for help from their old friend: apparently, there are monsters in
Champignac! And when our two fearless adventurers reach the outskirts of the village, they are stopped by an Army blockade ...
The time has come for war councils, as the elders of the First
Families prepare the coming campaign against their enemies of the
Last Families. They're still unsure about the leader they've chosen,
though - Saul. In response, the latter continues to slide deeper into

now be fought to the death. A cruel move that will only stoke the growing rebellion in Neosalem's population - one that Leila will
spearhead ...
Back in the present after their adventures through time, Spirou and
Fantasio try to pick up their life where they left it. But the
magazine refuses to publish Fantasio's account of their extraordinary
journey, and he falls into depression. Until, that is, the bizarre
and annoying Snuffeller reappears, bearing a call for help from
Aurélien de Champignac, `their' count's descendant. A trip to the
future appears in order - but what terrible discoveries await our
intrepid reporters?
Spirou and Fantasio, in transit through Paris airport, are kidnapped by French counter-intelligence: in exchange for the release of two French nationals from Soviet prisons, the KGB demanded the two reporters' assistance. Because Moscow has a problem: the mob is getting increasingly powerful and bold, and it has infiltrated the authorities so thoroughly they can't fight back anymore. They do know, however, that the big boss is someone Spirou and Fantasio have met before and simply cannot ignore...
Fantasio, chasing a scoop, slips through a cordon sanitaire surrounding a cargo ship fresh from Antarctica. He's hoping to investigate some disturbing rumours about the base where the ship comes from. But a seriously ill man has escaped the quarantine and begs for assistance. The Count of Champignac can help, but only if he has access to a very rare toxin - one that is stored, for example, in that mysterious ice base, where more patients await...
Spirou and Fantasio are hired by a doctor to escort some of his
patients. Their ailment? An apparently incurable case of the hiccups.
His solution: Send them on the most insane adventure ever and scare

the two fearless reporters agree to take the patients with them as
they attempt to locate two explorers lost in 1938 near the Nepalese border... in the middle of a war!
Spirou and Fantasio are spending a few days at Champignac Castle, keeping an eye on the estate while the Count is away visiting family. One night, as they are preparing to watch a comet pass in the sky, Fantasio's clumsiness causes them to lose consciousness. They awaken to the very noisy arrival of de Champignac aboard one of his strange machines - except that the old man claims to be not the Count himself, but one of his descendants ... back from the future!
Arriving back at Champignac after their resounding victory over Zorglub and his Zorglmen - poor souls enslaved by a terrible will-negating wave - Spirou, Fantasio and the count discover the entire village paralysed! Another potential use of the zorglwave, and a sign that Zorglub's remorse and his promise to free all of his men may not have been entirely sincere. Discovering the truth will take time, though, and send our friends on a trip far from home...
While trying to escape an avalanche triggered by the killers of the
First Families, Ivan drowned. Though this is a less permanent problem
that it used to be for the children, Ivan `returned' far from his
friends, in a small village in Brittany where he used to holiday with
his parents. There he lives alone, preparing for the long trip back
to Neo-Salem. Until the day Camille, now revealed as the Midnight Child, pays him a terrifying visit, and the nightmare begins ...

inauspicious by the superstitious peasantry, and Papyrus, born among
the simple people of Egypt, refuses the young woman's request,
angering her. By the time he changes his mind and joins her, there
are evil plans afoot ...

But working towards scientific progress isn't easy when one is somewhat absent-minded ... and saddled with a whimsical Marsupilami `assistant'! Soon, life in the village of Champignac becomes rather complicated ...
In Chiquito, capital of Palombia, there are nasty rumours flying of
numerous orphans and poor kids going missing. And indeed, one
evening, the son of a rich family is kidnapped along with a handful
of street urchins after he sneaked out of school. The children are
soon put to work in a clandestine gold mining camp. But the illegal

Even as his friends seem finally on the verge of being reunited after
all their adventures, the time has come for Dodzi to regain his
freedom. He must first pass the test prepared by his kidnapper, the

release. Except the young boy doesn't trust that deal, and plans to
escape his own way. But nothing has prepared him for the extraordinary discoveries he's about to make ...

to find a replacement. The colonel picks Rin Tin Can for the job ...
and then the real trouble begins!
