The Asterix comics have one truly endearing quality: they appeal to vastly different age groups.

In other words, it can be read as a child as well as later in life and still remain enjoyable.

Some of the jokes and drawings (eg Romans getting their a..es handout out to them by Obelix) will make a 6 year old laugh, while others like "je suis meduse" will strongly tickle adults catching the cultural reference.

A treasure, especially the ones written by Goscinny.
