«Nel 50 avanti Cristo tutta la Gallia è occupata dai Romani...Tutta? No! Un villaggio dell'Armorica, abitato da irriducibili Galli, resiste ancora e sempre all'invasore.» Questo è l'incipit di tutte le storie di Asterix, ma per la prima volta, al trentacinquesimo albo, le avventure nasceranno dalla creatività di due nuovi autori, sotto la supervisione di Albert Uderzo: Didier Conrad per i disegni e Jean-Yves Ferri per i testi. "Disegnare Asterix è per me un'avventura straordinaria, è un sogno coltivato da tanto tempo che ora si realizza inaspettatamente" ha dichiarato Conrad. Un cambiamento epocale che renderà Asterix e i Pitti, ambientato nelle brume scozzesi, un albo imperdibile per tutti gli appassionati.
