I have the Asterix Omnibus's - 6 stories in each at time less that £10 so best way to buy them. Still love the fun and the wonderful translations to English.

The woman who did the translations died a couple of years ago too: https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...a-dies-aged-82

Asterix is considered a master example of translation as she often translated French idioms or jokes into equivalent versions in England that kept the overall meaning whilst still working well.

I.E The dog Idéfix was a French pun for meaning fixed idea was translated to Dogmatix for dogmatic. The comics were full of stuff like that.
