Contains 3 newly-translated classic Asterix tales. First, Asterix and Obelix take on a new career as matchmakers as they help star-crossed lovers take on their warring factions. Perhaps Panoramix can whip up a love potion? Can the power of love cross "The Great Divide"? Second, Asterix and Obelix must go drilling for Oil to fulfill a druid recipe, but to get "The Black Gold," they have to outwit a spy with his cutting edge ancient spy technology. Well, at least Obelix has his brute strength. Finally, when a baby shows up at Asterix's front door he is thrust into fatherhood, but you know what they say, it takes a village. Is this more psychological warfare from the Romans or just the miracle of birth?
