"The Adventures of Asterix" is a beloved French comics series originally written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo (until Goscinny's death in 1977). The series follows the adventures of Asterix, Obelix and a village of indomitable Gauls as they resist Roman occupation under Julius Caesar in 50 BC. They do so by means of a magic potion brewed by their druid Getafix which temporarily gives them superhuman strength. Many of the stories have Asterix, Obelix, Dogmatix and sometimes Getafix travel to foreign countries, though others are set in and around their village. For most of the series, settings in Gaul and abroad were alternated, with even-numbered volumes being set abroad and odd-numbered volumes being set in Gaul, mostly in the village and the surrounding Roman camps. Asterix continues to be one of the most popular comics in the world and has been translated into over 100 languages! The success of the series has led to 13 films: nine animated, and four live action. There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris called Parc Astérix. In 2013, a new team consisting of Jean-Yves Ferri (script) and Didier Conrad (artwork) took over the work of creating and publishing new volumes from Uderzo. As of 2017, 37 volumes have been released and several Asterix films have been converted into books. Which book is your favorite?

      Review for „Asterix and the Actress” by René Goscinny: It’s the thirty-first book from the „Asterix, the Gaul” series writen by René Goscinny. The action takes place in the Gaulish village and in some other places in France which are under Roman control. The story begins with Asterix and Obelix’s mothers visiting them at their birthday. The two heroes receive a Roman helmet and a sword as gifts. While the mothers are making a fuss about their sons still being single, the heroes’ fathers are getting arrested by Roman legionaries who suspect them for stealing a helmet and a sword which belong to a Roman nobleman who is revealed later on to be one of Julius Caesar’s enemies.%
