| | Asterix (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Asterix is less well known in the United States and Japan, which both have strong comic book traditions of their own. |
| | In the early album Asterix and the Goths, for instance, the Goths are represented as militaristic and regimented, reminiscent of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Germans. |
| | In Asterix in Belgium, the chieftain of Asterix's Belgian hosts gains inspiration for patates frites and mussels, Belgium's two most famous culinary ambassadors, from a vat of boiling oil prepared as a Roman weapon, and a damp wooden plank belonging to the pirates (potatoes, however, were unknown in Europe at the time). |
