Asterix In Lusitania, or ancient Portugal, is the 41st album in the series, is created by Fabcaro and Didier Conrad, and will be published internationally in October, on the 23rd of October in the UK and on the 28th in the USA and Canada. Bleeding Cool has a look at a teaser for the book in which Asterix and Obelix are interviewed on a webstream about the upcoming book. Don't pay too much attention to the edifice, or indeed the edifix… this is the first of two Asterix Summer Strips, as well as a trailer above, based on the strip below…

The UK solicitation from publisher Sphere reads: "On 23rd October MMXXV there will be a new album of adventures for the most famous of Gauls: Asterix in Lusitania! One beautiful spring morning, a stranger appears in the Gaulish village. He's from Lusitania, the sun-drenched land to the west of Hispania which is also under the Roman Empire's thumb. This former slave, who first featured in The Mansions of the Gods, has come to ask our indomitable Gauls for help because he knows about the Magic Potion and its powerful effects. And so begins another adventure for Asterix and Obelix!"

The USA solicitation from Papercutz reads: "On October 28, MMXXV, the new volume of adventures about the most famous Gauls will be released: Asterix in Lusitania! One beautiful spring morning, a stranger arrives in the village. He's come from Lusitania, that sunny land to the west of Hispania that's also under the yoke of Rome. This former slave, who we met in "Mansions of the Gods" [collected in Papercutz' ASTERIX Omnibus #6], knows about the effects of the Magic Potion and has come to ask our indomitable Gauls for help. A new adventure for Asterix and Obelix is about to begin!"
