Asterix: The Village (500 pcs)

This puzzle invites you to reunite the whole band of indomitable Gauls for a lively, humor-filled family photo. At the center of the scene, chief Vitalstatistix stands proudly on his shield, hoisted up by his loyal warriors, while Asterix and Obelix take their place right at the front, in their most recognizable poses. The druid Getafix, leaning on his staff and dressed in his white robe, watches over the group with his long beard. All around, the men, women and warriors of the Gaulish village crowd in laughing, some armed with their spears, in a warm and lighthearted atmosphere. In the background, the thatched-roof huts stand among the green hills, under a sky where seagulls glide, a reminder that the sea is never far from this little corner of Gaul that still holds out against the invaders.

This colorful puzzle faithfully reproduces the inimitable style of the famous comic book, for an assembly session that's as nostalgic as it is entertaining. Once complete, the village portrait fits nicely framed in a teen's room or reading nook, keeping the world of Asterix alive long after the last piece is placed.

Created in 1959 by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the Asterix comic book series has sold more than 385 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling comic series in history. This puzzle is part of a whole collection of jigsaws inspired by the Gaulish universe, alongside other classic scenes like the village banquet or the Asterix family photo, for fans who want to piece together the entire village one piece at a time.

The inimitable artwork in this scene is signed by Albert Uderzo, the longtime illustrator of Asterix alongside writer Rene Goscinny, the duo who created the series in 1959. This puzzle is part of the Asterix collection produced by Ravensburger, which offers several scenes from the Gaulish universe in various formats.
