Description of product
The story begins, as all of Asterix s adventures do, by invoking the state of Gaul at the time occupied by the Romans, though not entirely. The one small village of indomitable Gauls still holding out against the invaders is slowly zoomed into. In this first ever adventure, the Romans, led by Centurion Crismus Bonus attempt to figure out what gave the Gauls their superhuman strength. They find that the secret lies in a potion brewed by their fearsome (yet rather fatherly) druid, Getafix. This leads them to their first ever attempt to capture the venerable druid, which they manage to do without a snag, at least initially.
The druid is captured and tortured until the torturer is utterly exhausted and stunned by the resistance of Getafix to his methods. Instead, they capture Asterix, who had caught wind of the Romans scheme and snuck into their camp, and try to torture him instead, which works brilliantly so brilliantly that the torturer hardly had to tie him down before the Gaulish warrior began to beg for mercy.
