A review by naveennbhat
Asterix the Gaul by René Goscinny

5.0

School library memories! The first volume of the Asterix comic strip series (listed as the 23rd greatest book of the 20th century by French newspaper Le Monde). The first half of the volume is more of an exposition into the world of Asterix, the Gauls and the Romans, characters get introduced (including Julius Caesar himself), as is the plot armour called magic potion. Many story points and characterisations are clearly still in their formative stages, but the humour is consistent. I can't wait to dig in to the rest of the series!
