AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
It is not a first edition of Asterix. The copyright year shown on the legal pages is the year of the original work, not of this copy:
a.3 Cleopatra (ISBN 84-7838-014-0): Dargaud 1965; English text: Brockhampton Press 1969.
a.5 Switzerland (ISBN 84-7838-018-3): Dargaud 1970; English text: Brockhampton Press 1973.
It is the Ediciones del Prado edition. The legal page says “English edition for Spain: Ediciones del Prado” and “Exclusive rights to the English edition in Spain.” It was printed in Belgium (Proost International Book Production). No page gives the printing year or printing number.
If it is the first printing of the collection: probably, yes, but this cannot be confirmed. A newsstand collection does not usually indicate reprints. The 84-7838 prefix places the collection in the early 1990s.
Finding the exact year or print run number is difficult. The only thing that might help is the legal deposit number on the cassette or box, if you have it.
Summary of what they are
Study Comics: Fun with English collection (Ediciones del Prado). These are Asterix albums in English, using the Hodder Dargaud translation (Bell and Hockridge), in paperback.
Each issue includes:
The complete album.
An English-Spanish glossary with key words marked with an asterisk.
The Hodder-format covers, with the “Hodder Dargaud presents” logo and the publisher’s imprint.
