What a horror! Chief Vitalstatistix has learned that Caesar has called the Belgian tribes, and not the Gauls, the bravest he knows. Along with Asterix and Obelix, the chief goes to confront the Belgians--who, to his surprise, turn out to be very like the people in his own hometown.

My brother was a missionary in France during the 80's and returned with Asterix figures, books, etc. Since then I seem to have forgotten all about it until seeing it recently in the book "500 Essential Graphic Novels". So I decided to request a copy from my local library.

The Asterix series is light, playful, and has enough content to drive the storyline to the very last page. I wouldn't consider them to be super engaging, but they are enjoyable. Though they were originally ...more

The category that this book fits into on the bingo board is a graphic novel.

I decided to read this book because a graphic novel is always interesting to read and also it was an easy one to pick on the bingo board.

What I liked about the book is that there was many fighting scenes that took place, the books storyline also had many twists and turns making the book enjoyable. Finally the book had images in itso it gave you a better understanding of what was happening in each ...more

One of my favorites (at #24), and maybe the third best Asterix in a foreign country (Britain, Egypt, Switzerland, and Corsica are all in the competition though).

This is the last Asterix written by the orginal writer, Goscinni. The rest are taken over completely by the illustrater, Uderzo. In my opinion the later editions, although still good, and with a couple editions that may be as funny as some in the original series, still lose much of the special magic. Sometimes the scenerios t...more

Kata-kata Julius Caesar yang menyatakan bahwa Bangsa Belgia adalah bangsa yang terhebat membuat telinga Bangsa Galia panas. Mereka merasa bahwa kekuatan mereka tidak dianggap oleh Julius Caesar.

Maka, pergilah tiga sekawan, Asterix, Obelix, dan Idefix ke Belgia untuk membuktikannya.
Bangsa Belgia dan Bangsa Galia sama-sama suka perang, kuat, dan suka makan. Mereka sama-sama mengaku sebagai bangsa yang terkuat. Untuk membuktikannya, mereka mengadakan perlombaan untuk menghancurkan...more

dernier album avant la mort de goscinny qui incarnait l'esprit d' Astérix (la suite le prouvera).

Une fois n'est pas coutume, le prétexte au déplacement de nos héros est farfelu, mais débouche sur un morceau de bravoure.

La bataille finale, reprenant des passages de la bataille de Waterloo telle qu'elle a été décrite par Victor Hugo dans "Les misérables" est un monument.

Mah… Non comprendo il perché di questa storia: non mi pare, infatti, che la caratterizzazione dei belgi presenti sufficienti spunti umoristici. Sono in tutto e per tutto simili agli altri galli.
Problema simile con gli elvezi:

Numerosi ammiccamenti, allusioni ecc., ma si perdono in tavole spesso fastidiosamente spoglie.

Encore une fois, mon manque de connaissance sur les peuples européens me joue un tour lors de la lecture de cette bande dessinée. Je connais très peu les Belges. Je n'ai pas pu apprécié cette aventure d'Astérix à sa juste valeur. C'était bien mais sans plus.

Asterix in Belgium – A&O set off to Belgica to determine whom the local legionaries less like to fight, Gaulish or Belgian warriors

Many of these were read and bought while overseas in 1998 & 1999. I'm not even sure which ones I read when, but I did my best guessing!
