With vibrant illustrations and witty dialogue, readers are taken on a rollercoaster ride through ancient Rome and beyond, reminding us all why these characters have remained beloved for generations.

It is almost impossible to single out one album from this remarkable comic book series, but Legionary comes closest to perfection. A masterclass in comedy to read again and again -- Robin Etherington * The Big Issue *
