The Tour De France before the Tour De France.

Not the best Asterix, but even at not the best, Asterix is still great!

French friends visiting for a week provided the opportunity to get out all the Astérix books. This is based on a very clever idea, but perhaps isn't quite as successful as some of the others; nonetheless it still has a lot of character and is very funny in places.

Naturally the original French allows all the jokes and puns to be fully appreciated: Goscinny was a master in that respect.

I snickered in a few places, but I think a lot of the region-based jokes flew right over my South Asian head. Ah well.

The second comic book about Asterix read with my six year old nephew Stanley (the Polish version) :) He wants more!

 The Banquet is a fun installment: it has a lot of different places & people, and more than the usual amount of jokes (running gags, puns, visual jokes, etc.) The plot is interesting and it leads to a lot of creative and unusual situations.

Not bad, but certainly not the best of the earlier albums. There are some good parts, but it tends to get a bit repetitive.

Se nota que no soy francés. Pillo algunas referencias, puedo trasladar otras... pero este cómic no es para mí xDDDDDD. Hubo un momento que se me hizo incluso un tanto repetitivo: ciudad, romanos, galos ayudando, ciudad, romanos...

I grew up reading Asterix comics and watching Asterix movies so this was a walk down memory lane! I enjoyed it very much!
