Asterix Omnibus 3: Includes Asterix and the Big Fight #7, Asterix in Britain #8, and Asterix and the Normans #9

I read these comics as a child over and over again. They are well written and beautifully illustrated, witty and very entertaining. The story follows the members of a small village in Gaul whom resist the Roman Empire by virtue of a super-strengthening potion brewed by their druid Getafix. The heros of the stories are Asterix ( a short, but smart warrior) and his best friend Obelix ( a large, boar meat loving, loyal but not smart warrior whom fell in a cauldron of magic potion as a child and as a result has permanent super strength). You can read each comic seperately and be able to follow the story, though certain characters do repeat throughout the series. I am buying them again as an adult and enjoying them just as much as I did as a kid. I definitely recommend these comics.

I grew up with Asterix and was so happy to find theses fantastic stories published in omnibus editions. This is making bedtime with my dyslexic 10year old fun and he has finally found something he wants to read! Fulliautomatix and Getafix are some of our favourite names.. and don't even get him started on the Roman names!!

We were in Holland when we were introduced to Asterix. My son, 13 at the time, had a throat problem and we were delayed at a friend's home for a while. He was given an Asterix book to read. And even though he had a sore throat, his laughter was clearly heard. We ordered some of them from Amazon when we arrived back home in the U.S. There are a lot of books in this series. This Christmas, though all three of my sons are adults, I order 10 more books for them to share. Then, my 8 year old and 11 year old granddaughters both had the first picks and you can see them reading with much enjoyment. I have to admit that I too read one while visiting them. FIVE STARS and would put ten stars if you had that available. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THEM AVAILABLE TO ORDER

My eight year old grandson really loves these books. His father loved them in the eighth grade. I haven't read them, but have listened to my grandson's laughter as he reads, and he tells me what is so funny. That leads to a discussion about what I remember about that time in history. I think "Comic Classics" can provide memorable knowledge when needed. As I see it, one remembers historical fiction better than history textbooks. I also think since my grandson and his father share the love of these books, they are really valuable. I heard my young man reading about the Gauls and the Romans in ancient Britain. This may not be in book 3, maybe book 4, but I will continue to send them as gifts whenever I see a new one made available. Judith S.

I bought this as a present for my recently acquired son-in-law, who hadn't been exposed to the Asterix books until we gave him the first Omnibus for Christmas. He is hooked! These are a great way to collect the entire series, three books in each omnibus, goes a lot faster and cheaper, too! The stories are timeless classics of comic fun, an absolute must for anyone who appreciates a good, clean, and highly disrespectful rendering of history.

fast shipping good condition. love the book series. Its convenient to buy these rather then the individual books that I'm collecting.

How do you not love Asterix? Sharing them with my boy has been loads of fun for us both, and is slyly educational. If I can keep for ruining it with too much talk of linguistics while explaining some of the jokes he may not catch on how much he's actually learning while reading comic books.

This is a classic that all three of my kids enjoy reading. Fun to see the three kids piled on the couch together reading the same book and laughing. You will get more punchlines if you understand your history.

livre anglophone relié rigide grand format récent (2011/1966) 3ème tome d'une série d'ouvrages regroupant chacun trois aventures d'Astérix; dans ce cas: le combat des chefs, Astérix chez les Bretons et Astérix et les Normands; le format, conforme à la BD originale offre un confort certain pour la lecture, l'anglais est généralement accessible bien que parfois d'un niveau de culture particulièrement élevé en particulier pour les jeux de mots (nécessitant la présence d'un dictionnaire papier ou en ligne à proximité); les noms communs de personnages ou de lieux ont été réinventés et sont parfois plus réussis que dans la version francophone originale (par ex Cacofonix ou Getafix); cette série existe aussi en version brochée mais la version reliée est plus chère (l'occasion n'offrant que rarement des prix intéressants); elle permet de se constituer une collection à un prix plus abordable qu'en achetant les albums séparément; c'est un excellent moyen de redécouvrir ces aventures tant aimées de notre enfance et de se divertir tout en améliorant son anglais

Excelente qualidade. Ótimo preço. Chegou rápido. Obrigado.

Graphic presentationv and a good present for a child interested in the Asterix stories and an encouragement to read.
