Asterix in Spain: Album #14 (Adventures of Asterix)

My wife is of Spanish descent (her mom's a half-breed, descended from Central AMerican dictators, who traces her tyrannical blood line back to the Basque region of Spain, which really means she isn't actually Spanish, but the Central AMericans living in the land her anscestors ruled with such brutal savagery were not savvy enough to recongnize the distinction between the pre-IndoEuropean Basques and the Spanish and consequently thought of all of their oppressors as Spanish and, if all interested parties had imbibed enough wine after the banana harvest, kind of fun loving too) and there was nothing in this book that bugged me. It's Asterix at his best - kicking butt and showin' 'em who's boss!

Sister bought for a gift. Gift was enjoyed. The end.

Good quality

EXCELLENT

I read these as a kid 30 years ago and loved them, now I've been getting them for my nephew for Christmas and he loves to read them. The art is amazing and the story and humor great for all ages

I have read these comics for 30 years and still to this day love them. The pictures and the stories never get old. I plan on gettnig the complete collection.

"Asterix in Spain" is the fourteenth comic in the Asterix series, first published in 1969. There's a lot of adventure, great locations, and lots of wordplays that have been cleverly translated into English from the original French.

Caesar has taken over Spain, yet a small town holds out against the invaders. To bring them to surrender, Caesar kidnaps the chiefs son, and sends him away to Gaul. Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix find the boy while he's playing hide and seek with the Roman legionairies. They take him to their village, but he proves to be a bit of a nuisance, holding his breath when he doesn't get something he wants, stirring up fights and giggling at Obelix. They decide to take him home to Spain, across the mountains, and past many dangers. Will things be put right?

It's a really clever little comic.
