A READER'S GUIDE TO SWORD & SORCERY

ASTERIX THE GAUL (DARGAUD)

Written by R. Goscinny/Art by A. Uderzo

(1961-1979)

Classic French comic about a group of Gauls who defy the Roman Empire using Celtic magic. It has swords and sorcery but isn't really S&S. Probably the most fun you can have with history. Lots of word-play and puns in the names. Some '60s style racism. Some of the history is faulty (for the nit-pickers).
