Delightful guidebook to the world of Asterix, written with the cooperation of Alberto Uderzo who not only wrote the Foreward but also provides commentary (and finally explains why there are so many chickens!). Discusses the origins of Asterix, follows the development of the characters through each book, explains how they are translated without loss of humor into different languages, and provides an analysis of the various ways Uderzo and Goscinny each conveyed humor. Numerous extras such as a glossary of Latin terms used in the books and a description of what really goes into the magic potion. Illustrated with black and white pictures (and one 2 page color spread). 105 pages with notes and index.
