Asterix the Gaul (English first)

René Goscinny & Albert Uderzo · Dargaud (France) / Brockhampton Press (UK English) · 1961 (France) / 1969 (English)

The Dargaud French edition of 1961 is the original-language true first. The Brockhampton 1969 edition is the first in English ('first thus'). Later Hodder and Orion English editions are reprints. Note that the page 35 art was redrawn in 1970 after the original plate was lost, so early printings can differ slightly there.
