Why is Caesars hair green on the cover? It never goes green in the book.
This is all prose text and a lot of it. It's different from the other adaptions of Asterix in the bulk of it to read.
The story is normal Asterix silly but it's just not the same with real people instead of cartoons. That said, it is interesting to see who they picked for the characters. I think they did an excellent job at that movie-wise.
The "art" is simply photo stills from the film.
