List of Hodder books?

Hi all, first post here but a long-time Asterix reader.

Does anybody have a really good reference list of Asterix titles published in the UK? Particularly the Hodder / Brockhampton ones from the 60s/70s/80s, and with release dates, covers, other details?

In particular, I've recently started to add the Brockhampton/Knight Books B&W paperbacks from the 1970s to my collection, but I'm unclear how many there are. I've seen a solid reference webpage to eight titles having been published in this B&W landscape format, but I've also seen tentative references to other titles elsewhere. But unable to get a definite answer.

Just for reference, this is the list of B&W titles I've seen comprehensive confirmation of:

  • Asterix The Gaul (1972)
  • Asterix in Britain (1972)
  • Asterix and Cleopatra (1973)
  • Asterix the Gladiator (1973)
  • Asterix the Legionary (1973)
  • Asterix and the Big Fight) (1976??, TBC)
  • Asterix in Spain (1976??, TBC)
  • Asterix at the Olympic Games (1975??, TBC)

There are other entries showing as published by Knight Books on the British National Bibliography and I've seen a copy of 'Switzerland' that says it was first published in 1972, but not sure if these are the B&W ones or the later colour A5 editions.

Any pointers to good reference sites welcomed.
