A Look At What Will Be The Biggest Selling Comic Book Of 2015

Asterix And The Missing Scroll, the new volume from Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad will launch in three weeks time, on the 22nd October and will instantly be the biggest selling single comic book title of the year. Star Wars? Attack On Titan? Peanuts to Asterix… available here in the US, here in Canada and here in the UK.
