Asterix and Obelix All at Sea

Love the book. It is getting harder to find Asterix and Obelix on line

Obelix turns to stone when he drinks the forbidden magic potion and the druid Getafix accidentally reverts him back to childhood. If not for anything else, i'd buy this book to see Obelix finally drink the magic potion. A refreshing change from the usual 'you fell into the cauldron as a baby...it has a permanent effect on you...unpredictable consequences if you drink anymore'.

I have heard many bad things about this one, but as an avid fan of Asterix and other works of Uderzo (Iznogud, Umpah Pah, ...), I think this is a great story. The art work is superb, Uderzo certainly gets better with each story. The plot is funny, and Spartakis is great! I have some problems with it though, the adventure seems too much for 48 pages. Seems like at times, Uderzo has had to leave the adventure without getting it anywhere. Spartakis and his band could have been given a greater role than just the cab ride from the Armorian Coast to Atlantis!

This book contains all the classic Asterix elements with the role of Obelix being priceless. It is a great read for all the people who have been following the adventures of Asterix for such a long time. I love the return to the classic elements after the mildly disappointing book "Asterix and the Secret Weapon".

A nice addition to the best comic adventure series in the world. Uderzo shows that he has the ability as a writer, as well as a master illustrator. Although we have to agree that it is impossible for anyone to replace the late Goscinny, Uderso does a great job of continuing the adventures. I agree with the point that it is not as good as some of the ones he did befoew, particularly Asterix and Son or the Magic Carpet
