Asterix the Gaul Asterix the Gaul must be Europe's favourite comic book hero. Asterix the Gaul is the inspired creation of Rene Goscinny, renowned author of several several short stories and comics (Lucky Luke, Isnogood, to name but two of his most successful), and Albert Uderzo, a highly talented comic book artist. To my knowledge Asterix' adventures have been translated into 29 different languages, - even Latin (it is used in many schools where Latin is taught in order to loosen up an otherwise rather dry matter.). www.roman-empire.net /asterix/asterix.html   (315 words)

Going for Gaul: 40 years of Asterix | LRB essay | Guardian Unlimited Books Asterix and the Actress by Albert Uderzo, translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge. Before Goscinny's death Uderzo had never taken much part in the writing and to judge from his latest, Astérix et Latraviata (translated into English as Asterix and the Actress), the answer to the big question would be a disappointing no. The satire is stale. It is a choice hilariously dramatised in Le Combat des chefs (Asterix and the Big Fight), which contrasts Astérix's village with a neighbouring Gallic settlement. books.guardian.co.uk /lrb/articles/0,6109,650321,00.html   (2702 words)

A Celtic Gaul named Asterix The most chauvinistic nationalism in Asterix is presented by Obelix, the figure with the lowest IQ, when he constantly proclaims that the Romans, Britts, Goths and Egyptians are quite mad; He is the only person that's not mad. Asterix is, after all, not a purely historical satire, and it's not uncommon that women stay at home even today. The depths and heights in Asterix, not mentioning the eminent art, makes the comic reach out to children and adults, schooled and and unschooled alike, and the difference in enjoyment is purely academic. heim.ifi.uio.no /~janl/ts/asterix-article.html   (2485 words)

Every four years, without fail Asterix fans have a new album to enjoy and though the scripts have never quite managed to equal Goscinny's talents, Uderzo has done a more than capable job on that front, notably 'Asterix and Son' and the more recent 'All At Sea' being just as good as Any Asterix classic. In the past the Asterix book has managed to merge ideas that were out of time with the setting of Asterix (ie the discovery of America) really well, but it falls flat this time. www.amazon.co.uk /Asterix-Falling-Sky-Albert-Uderzo/dp/0752873016   (1623 words)
