''Asterix and the Big Fight'' is a French comic book, the seventh in the Asterix comic book series. It was written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo. Its original French title is ''Le Combat des chefs'' ("The Battle of the Chieftains") and it was first published in serial form in ''Pilote'' magazines, issues 261-302, in 1964. It was translated into English in 1971. ==Plot summary== The Romans having been humiliated many times by the rebel Gauls, Felonius Caucus, advisor to Centurion Nebulus Nimbus, suggests a single combat between Vitalstatistix, chief of Asterix’s tribe, and the Gallo-Roman Chief, Cassius Ceramix of Linoleum. When Ceramix argues that Vitalstatistix would surely win with Getafix’ magic potion of invincibility, Caucus sends a patrol to capture Getafix before the challenge is made. To scatter the attackers, Obelix accidentally strikes Getafix with a menhir, the impact of which causes amnesia and insanity. Following Cassius Ceramix' challenge, Asterix and Vitalstatistix attempt to restore Getafix’s mind by experimenting in potions; but this produces only a whimsical sub-plot, in which the Roman soldier 'Informofpurpus', captured by Obelix as a test subject, is temporarily rendered weightless. Thereafter Asterix and Obelix consult Psychoanalytix (original French name is ''Amnesix''), a druid who specializes in mental disorders; but during an explanation of the problem, Obelix demonstrates with a menhir, leaving Psychoanalytix "in the same state as Getafix". As the two crazed druids concoct a number of skin-coloring magic potions, Asterix tries to bring Vitalstatistix into good physical shape for the fight. Meanwhile, the Romans plan to arrest Cassius after the fight, lest he thereafter challenge their control of Gaul. As the fight begins, Getafix accidentally makes a potion which restores his mind, and retains sanity despite another menhir. He quickly proceeds to brew a supply of magic potion. Having exhausted Ceramix at the site of combat, and upon hearing of Getafix's recovery, Vitalstatistix defeats his opponent with a single blow; but the Romans do not accept this victory, and suffer their own defeat by Vitalstatistix's entire tribe. When Ceramix is reduced to amnesia by a third menhir, Vitalstatistix declines his right to take over Cassius' tribe, and sends him home in honour. Psychoanalytix returns to business despite his current state, but remains professionally successful despite "side effects" of his medicines. Cassius, now in the same mental state as the druids, becomes "the most courteous chief in Gaul" and the probable originator of French courtesy. His tribe returns to Gaulish ways and the fight against Rome, while Vitalstatistix's tribe celebrate their victories.
