Great drawings, smart as fuck...absolutely amazing. http://www.euronet.nl/users/idi_rad1/asterix-en-obelix/asterix-keuze.jpg'> http://www.geo.fmi.fi/~tmakinen/pics/books/asterix.gif'> http://www.ethbib.ethz.ch/exhibit/slb/images/asterix.gif'> http://www.phil.uni-erlangen.de/~p1altar/photo_html/asterix.jpg'> http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~bkarthik/asterix/asterix.gif'> PS, the original logo, dated somewhere in the 70's is still one of the dopest styles i've seen.

Janlo Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Asterix is the biggest comix success in the francophone world Every child from france , belgium quebec etc begins to read it at small age, but you still can read them at adult age. there's a big theme park Asterix in France theres 2 Asterix movies , and the last one ( Mission Cléopatre) is one of the biggest success movie in France Smart humour, fresh drawings... can't get better than this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I had a bunch of them them I was a little kid, I have no idea where I got them from... but they were absolutely mindblowing. A lot of my drawing training as a little kid came from copying them. It's absolute top-notch cartoon art, and the storylines kicked ass for ages... propzers magnificus.

effyoo Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Like every other Canadian in this thread, I read these in elementary school during library time. I would even hide them so I wouldn't have to wait to sign them out. A fond memory of childhood. Les Schtroumpfs.... hahaha! nice one, K7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
