Books like Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield

\ \ This one features Asterix, Obelix and Chief Vitalstatistix, on an adventure, our heroes take their beloved chief to a Hydro Spa in the countryside, near Gergovia, as he's got some intestinal issues...While touring, they meet a Roman envoy, who gets smacked, and a coal merchant named Winesandspirix. There's a connection between the new friend and their chief, but not known to anyone yet.Meanwhile, the envoy meets with Caesar, who decides he doesn't like the natives of that particular area getting restless (check your history!) and demands the Shield of Vercingetorix, which he was presented after defeating the Great Gaulish/Celtic chief.This sets off a long chain of events, a race to find where the shield is, who has it, and of course, it should transpire that the shield belongs to. One other than Chief Vitalstatistix, who was given it by a young Winesandspirix after the Battle of Alessia and defeat of Vercingetorix, to help the young warrior lift his spirits. In fact, it's the same shield our chief is already paraded around on by his long suffering shield bearers.This leads to the humiliation of the Roman garrison at Gergovia, and Caesar punishes them all, after seeing Vitalstatistix triumph on the shield of Vercingetorix.Although it features Caesar, he's not the main antagonist, and though he's embarrassed, as usual, he doesn't punish or attack the Gauls. Goscinny and Uderzo didn't seem to hate Caesar, and there is a begrudging respect between our Heroes and Julius, which developed over the series. This makes him a far more interesting character.Not to,forget our chief and his health issues, when he arrives back from treatment at Winesandspirix place, he's skinny as heck, which is how the coal merchant recognized him from all the years back. Of course, things are what they are, and by the time they return to our village, the chief is back to his robust self, and even though the compulsory feast is held, his wife refuses to allow his attendance!\ \
