Book Reviews of Asterix and the Goths (Asterix)
Book Review: There they Goth again!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have enjoyed the Asterix stories for many years and am still a bit amazed at how much actual history is mixed into the comic stories written in this series. A pleasure for young and old!!Book Review: Graphic SF Reader
Summary: 3 Stars
The annual contest to award the best druid title is on again. Getafix of course is going, and Asterix decides to go along to watch out for him. A good thing, too, as the Goths capture Getafix, after seeing how useful his magic potion is.
This involves Asterix and Obelix doing a lot of the disguise thing and sowing dissent and confusion in many a land.
Book Review: Another fun adventure.

Rene Goscinny, Asterix and the Goths (Dargaud, 1963)
One of the earlier Asterix adventures that I somehow never managed to get round to till now. The Goths are invading Gaul. Well, a few of them, anyway. They want to kidnap Gaul's best druid to help them invade and conquer Gaul. Needless to say, you know who Gaul's best Druid is. Asterix and Obelix to the rescue! Goscinny takes a rather comedy-of-errors approach to this one, and it comes off quite nicely. Another of the better books in the series. ***
Book Review: Gothic Asterix
Summary: 5 Stars
"Asterix and the Goths" is a pretty early Asterix adventure, first published in 1963. It features the Goths, who kidnap Getafix the Gaulish druid in a plot to take over Julius Caesar's Rome, while Asterix and Obelix, who live in Getafix's village, go out to rescue him from Germania. It's short and simple, 48 pages more or less, but features some fun little parts about mistaken identity and such along the way. Worth a look for Asterix fans.Book Review: Axterix vs. a nation of goosestepping morons
Summary: 4 Stars
Getafix(in other Asterix books Magigimmix), the village druid, is captured by a cohort of Visigoths("Why the past tense?")on his way home from the annual Druid Conference. His friends, Asterix and Obelix, embark on a journey to save their buddy. The Romans, in their typical bullheadedness, muddle things up in their search for the Goths.This is a story filled with wit, hilarious names, funny wordplay, and nice artwork. Notice the Goths' WW1 style helmets.
This book was made when computers were not, and the color is done by hand. However, there are many uncolored spots in the book, hence the 4 stars.
I love this book. I recommend it to anyone.
