Prior to this I had never heard of it. Asterix was never all that popular in the U.S. but it's odd that I had never heard a single thing about it. Anyway, it means many Americans are missing out on some great fun. Asterix is an stunningly well-drawn Belgian comic (check out the meticulous lines and level of detail in the backgrounds) that is clever, amusing and sometimes laugh out loud funny. Whatever it is, it's always fun, even if the jokes fall flat. Asterix and Cleopatra is arguable the best of the lot, at least of the ones I've read so far, which is quite a few. One thing I don't like is the way the American covers are printed. I mean it would be nice if they allotted more space for the artwork. In this Egyptian adventure, Asterix travels to Egypt to help a hapless architect design and complete a massive palace that Cleopatra is building for Caesar. Of course, it is part of a bet, and the Romans want to stop it, as well as a rival architect with his own plans and goals. If you have ever wondered why the Sphinx has no nose, this is a must read. It is a fantastic story and one that remains as a favourite. Related Torrents
