Anyone else enjoy the adventures of these 2 adventerous Gauls? Personally, I rank the books right up there with The Adventures of Tintin.

Of course! These two series are among the best European comics, along with Lucky Luke, most things that have Gosciny collaborting in them, and just about anything by Frankin.

I grew up on these things... great memories!

I've yet to see the Asterix and Obelix movies, even though many people told me the second one was very good.

I didnt even know there where movies...and yes I enjoy those comics

The cartoon movies were great, and there is a shed load of them. I can't comment on the ones with Gérard Depardieu, I believe there were two, though there are apparently another two in production.

Asterix rules! (Well, more specifically Obelix rules...) The best one was Asterix goes to Britain, where everyone stops fighting at 3pm to take afternoon tea. :coffee2: :lol:

I heard on the radio over the weekend that there's a new book out. The new "villain" isn't a Roman, but a megolomaniac dictator called "Hubs".

I presume they were joking, but they claimed that an American government source has stated that the Administration don't intend reading it. (I'm paraphrasing for comic effect).

I have the entire series, as well as comicbooks, as on videotape. On video there are also some stories that never came out as a comicbook. I also used to have several Asterix comicbooks on my harddrive, but that one died on me and i never made backups. I'd like to get those back, but i don't even remember where i got them in the first place.

Asterix and especially Obelix are great! I literally grew up with these humorous comics, you can read them ten times and still discover new jokes :)

Really great memories!

Oooh, much love, defnitely much love for these two. Burt damn, now I am tempted to go home and dig up alll the old albums I have for a good stroll down the memory lane...

I remember my Dad using Asterix and Obelix as an example when explaining stuff to me or trying to teach me theoretical stuff....

I love those comics (along with Tintin and Lucky Luke). My father saved them from when he was little, so I have the originals (in swedish)(same for Lucky Luke and Tintin)

Well I watched their cartoons when I was a very child, and I really liked them! It is funny, and I loved the way when bad guys were beaten up, their teeth, eyes, shoes etc. fly all over, I once saw a flying BOXER with cute little hearts :p when Asterix and Obelix dove into a group of enemy soldiers! Now that was interesting! :D

OOh their village was so fun too! the fisherman, (eww it is stinky) the blacksmith, that chief who likes being carried on a plate, (or was it a shield) that old druid-like gut who always cooks potions, ah ah and that bardic fellow who is always hung and tied up a tree at the big party end of every adventure! Ahh the memories. Sorry most names escape me now and plus in the versions I watched the names were like..Turkish so I never knew the original names of the people :roll:

And I have watched the first movie, it was good, I think they made a pretty good job and acting. Haven't seen the second though. :(

I love them :D I've got all those comics that vere released :banana:
It's fantastic, outstanding,... :D

I have all first german editiions. :)

What about Asterix and Ofelix? :lol:

No, kidding.

Asterix and Obelix tie with Garfield and Leonard, for me.
