Complete 48 pages of full colour cartoon strips with French captions. Printed in France by Paul Dupont. Uderzo designed endpapers in white on a brown ground. 225 x 295 mm. Original colour printed and laminated boards; spine faded; corners very slightly bumped. The chief of Anticlimax's tribe, Mykingdomforanos (a pun on "my kingdom for a horse"; in French his name is Zebigbos, a pun on "the big boss"), is a caricature of Winston Churchill . The Beatles also make a cameo appearance as bards. Anticlimax mentions that the Britons were working on a tunnel under the English Channel. The Channel Tunnel was completed in 1994, many years after publication.
