Not to be confused with the
Asterisk (typographical mark). The Adventures of Asterix is a
series of
French comic books by
René Goscinny (stories) and
Albert Uderzo (illustrations). Uderzo has continued the series since the death of Goscinny in 1977. The series follows the exploits of a village of ancient
Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their
druid, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. This is often used for comic effect, as in a recurring sequence where the villagers sally forth from their village to rout the attacking Romans so easily as to consider it great sport. In many cases, this resistance leads the main characters to travel to various
European countries (but also
Egypt,
America,
India and other non-European locations) in every other book, while the remaining are set in and around their village.
