Asterix gets a little excercise in Greece
A bit of a change from other Asterix stories, this one lacks much usage of the famous "magic potion" when it would have helped, but the little Gaul manages just fine without. Very funny and a good lesson in ancient Greece.

Hard to overstate the charm....
It would be hard to overstate the charm of these wonderful stories. Like many others, I picked up this book to help with my project of trying to teach myself French. Not only does it serve that purpose, but it is so engaging that it has held me on course when the inherent difficulty of the language and some cross-cultural exasperation has tempted me to chuck the whole project. No way could I ...

Oh, That Nose!
In this Egyptian adventure, Asterix travels to Egypt to help a hapless architect design and complete a massive palace that Cleopatra is building for Caesar. Of course, it is part of a bet, and the Romans want to stop it, as well as a rival architect with his own plans and goals. If you have ever wondered why the Sphinx has no nose, this is a must read. It is a fantastic story and one that ...

Taking care of Rocky Business
As a child, I read all of the "classic" Asterix books in Swedish. As an adult living in the U.S., I am reading them again to my children, but this time in English. In brief, Asterix and Obelix live in small village in Gaul(Ancient France) that Julius Caesar never succeeded to subdue. This is because they have a magic potion that makes the villagers super strong. In this story Julius Caesar is ...

Asterix In America
I think I had this Asterix comic book, but with another title which is "Asterix Conquers America" but I lost it, that's why I bought it again. As the rest of Uderzo & Goscinny's masterpieces, this adventure has the same fun loaded atmosphere but being taken by our friends to the New World ! ! ! Yes, just a small trip to catch some fresh fish, ended up in Asterix, Obelix & Dogmatix discovering ...

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 ...

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 ...

pleasant/funny forever that brings our childhood memory
I have read the whole five first series of Nicolas in Spanish and recently there are three more came out. These three additional books are the ones that Rene's daughter found the scripts that were never published just few years ago. I recommend this book to everybody. Love every single episode in the books. I collect them in different languages: Korean, Spanish, French and English. Great ...

can't go wrong with it
The book was smaller than I expected(after all, a movie was made that was based on it), but, after all, it is a comic book and there is plenty of content in it(a picture is worth half a page from a normal book). Anyway, a thing worth bying.

Chief Vitalstatistix is outraged upon hearing that Julius Caesar has referred to the Belgians as the bravest of all the Gaullish peoples, and immediately sets out for Belgium to prove him wrong.

Orion, 2005

One of the best Asterix albums
One of the best albums of Asterix has a soothsayer arriving into the rebel Gaul village during a storm (which I guess has the Gauls in a vulnerable mood, since one of the few things they fear is the sky falling over them). All its inhabitants (save Asterix) fall for the con man, who is showered with presents in exchange for favorable predictions. Even Obelix becomes fascinated by the stranger. ...
