Creation of the Annual
Many publishers rejected the publication of Asterix Conquers Rome, till 1979,when Bell and Hockridge got the idea of creating the annual, by adding a few games, abridged versions of a few Asterix comics along with Asterix Conquers Rome. Thus, Asterix Conquers Rome couldn't be sold seperately and the Annual was formed.
