A brave foray for a terrific series

Another clever, funny and creative classic from R. Goscinny. Every one of the original series (with Goscinny & Uderzo) is a classic and a must read. Some of the references are bit deep and this is not really a book for young kids (although most will enjoy some of the slapstick humor) but the real "juice" is in the puns in the language which are very clever. The artwork too is beautiful, although *some* of the recent paperback editions tend to have some "bleeding" (the ink is outside and offset a bit from the sketches outline). Especially noticed this in the entire Lucky Luke and Tintin collections - a pity because the colors are really rich and the artwork quite splendid, otherwise.

Finally, once you've read the originals, which were all written by Goscinny, you will find the newer stories, which were written by Uderzo after Goscinny had passed away, quite disappointing. The humor is not that clever at all, nor are the plots very elaborate. They're really much lighter sketches. The overall "feel" of the stories by Uderzo are also more modern and less ... enchanting is the best way to put it. I stopped after reading a couple of the new ones and didn't bother with the rest. Whereas, the old series I revisit and re-read and savor each story still. Enjoy.

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 America :D, much to the amazement of Asterix with the new people there, Obelix was so disappointed that he didn't find any boars, just alot of "Gobblers". They also meet some passing by "Vikings" trying to discover a new land ! ! ! ... Great adventure with lots lots of fun as always :D :D :D ...

Funny

The druid Getafix needs fish to brew the magic potion. Asterix and Obelix set off to catch some as the village fishmonger Unhygenix is out of stock. They get lost in a storm and after much squabbling end up face to face with strange gobblers(turkeys) and Romans with painted faces(Native Indians). Read to find out how they return to Gaul.

Another great adventure!!

Another fascinating adventure by Asterix and Obelix! Worth to have it in your collection!!

Land ho! Asterix and Obelix had been lost at sea, but they've finally reached what they think is a Roman colony. Then the Vikings turn up on a voyage of discovery, and the two Gauls realize that they've done something greater and more important: they've discovered a strange New World.
