I’ve always enjoyed the Asterix series of comic books, featuring the eponymous wily Gaul in his battles against Roman oppression. The 37th book in the series, Asterix and the Chariot Race released in October 2017, sees our hero battling his way across Italy in a chariot race against the Romans.
Fascinating as this is, what has brought the book into the spotlight now is the name of a masked Roman villain who will stop at nothing to win. His name?
Coronavirus. Spooky!
