Learn and learn and learn
I have read Asterix since i was 5 and now at 28 years old, i still read it and never cease to discover new things in it. For kids, asterix represents a very human heroe, with his limitations, idiosyncrasies and great deeds. But as one grows up and learns about history and modern culture, one begins to understand the subtle the historical references. A lot of Asterix is based on true history ...

One of the best Asterix Adventures
One of the best Asterix adventures, with a very inventive plot, hilarious one-liners. Cacofonix steals the show at the end of the book, with the reactions from the residents of the Mansion of the Gods funny beyond words.

Asterix and Obelix the rescuers
Tip: out of stock does not mean you cannot find it in other bookstores. As a child, I read all of the "classic" Asterix books in Swedish. As an adult and now living in the U.S., I am reading them again to my children, but this time in English. This is a good classic. In Swedish, this book was called Asterix in Africa, but I read this English version to my children. As others have pointed out, the ...

Great Asterix comic!
Despite the fact that this comic is written by Mr. Uderzo, as well as illustrated by him, it is quite as good as any of the classics, like Asterix and Cleopatra or Asterix and the Goths. The art is up to the old standards, the pacing and flavor remain the same, and the same excruciating-yet-oddly-satisfying puns are sprinkled throughout the text. It's a rollicking, good-natured adventure from ...

Wickedly funny
Yet another brilliant installment of the wonderful Asterix series. This book is a lovely satire of capitalism and the corruption of power. When Caesar realizes he can not defeat the Gauls by sword, he turns to gold to do his dirty work. He theorizes that if the Gauls become so concerned with monetary pursuits they will no longer care to hold out against the Roman Invaders. So the Gauls are ...

A review from Mr. Entertainment Lover
Asterix should be read by all kids and adults. The jokes in it will make you laugh and give you a good feeling all over. Asterix is about a group of Gauls trying to defend themselves against the Romans and all the misadventures they have. All the stories take place in the year 50 B.C. the time of Julius Caesar and his conquests. These Gauls are the only people who are able to defend themselves ...

Gauls Getafix
Asterix lives in the Gaulish part of the Roman Empire. Doesn't he? Not quite, his village resists the Romans thanks to a magic potion. The Romans want some of this potion for themselves... "Asterix the Gaul" was the first Asterix comic, published in 1961. Rene Goscinny made the words and Albert Udzero did the pictures. It's a pretty good way to start the series though the sequel "Asterix and ...

Contains Hard to find Asterix Gems
This collection is great because it has a variety of asterix books in it, and some of the best stories. If you are not searching via the internet, you would not likely find "When Obelix fell into the magic potion" or "Operation Getafix", in addition to the other great Asterix stories that it has. Another bonus - it offers you a good value of six books in hardcover (less than the regular price ...

Colorful and witty
As with all of the Asterix comics, which I have been reading since I was nine, this is a colorful, funny comic with witty, double-entendre dialogue and a point. The illustrations are vivid and colorful, and the story flows rapidly. This one pokes fun at competitive sports, and especially at boxing and wrestling. Or, it could be viewed as making fun of petty political squabbles, like the friction ...

Just the wait makes it worth it!
After 5 years...an Asterix! One full of surprises, what with Asterix and Obelix's parents suddenly making their appearance (apparently they had been living in Condatum all along). Definitely the best of the Uderzo-only efforts, and some of the Goscinny-Uderzo magic is back. Some good punning, though I dont know how he missed an obvious opportunity in the scene where Latraviata is presented an ...

Asterix does it again!
As we all love these humurous books, everyone should enjoy this one. Obelix, funny as ever, and clever Asterix go on another expendition, this time on a tiny island south of France. They visit a Romans' prisoner's homeland and try to reunite all the tribes for a fight against the Romans. But the tribes' pasts could get in the way. What are our heroes going to do now?

Si eres fan de Asterix, este libro tiene el humor que ya conoces en dosis concentradas. Si no conoces Asterix, Gladiador es la mejor manera de introducirte a las hilarantes aventuras de este par de galos!

Le tour de gaule
One more time, a great Asterix. This time, asterix make the Tour de france, and bring some specific food from each part of france. The roman try to stop him & Obelix, but of course they fail. A lot of joke and fun hidden in the book, like all the time. Try to find them.

Claro que se acabaron las copias!
He leido Asterix por mas de 20 años. He leido las traduciones de México y las de España. Aunque el sentido del humor cambia según la traducción, al final el ingenio de Astérix es simplemente magnífico. A mis hijos le tocó conocer a Asterix, Obelix, Ideafix, etc., en ingles. La magia,y como no, tambien la exageración humorística del Galo los cautivo tanto como a mi cuando tenia la misma ...
