Asterix, a name that immediately conjures up fond childhood memories of lazing about, the only worry being when mom would have dinner ready. In these hazy halcyon, worry-free days the comic Asterix figured prominently as a treasured comic book series used to while away the seemingly endless days when time was of little consequence. These memories are shared by millions of people around the world who have grown up reading about Asterix, his adventures and his friend, the ever-present giant of a Gaul, Obelix. For these bright memories, drenched in perpetual sunshine we all owe a debt of gratitude to Rene Goscinny and his illustrator Albert Uderzo.
