When all Gaul was occupied by Romans

The Asterix Annotations
Goscinny and Uderzo's Universe

Goscinny and Uderzo created a wonderful universe that has enthralled me over the years. They spared no effort in filling everyone with details of the Roman empire and presenting a social commentary of our times as well. It's doubtless that I owe a lot to Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge for the wonderful translations - Robert Steven Caron comes nowhere near their subliminality. And then, for some years now, The Asterix Annotations has gone further and has thrown more light on the creations of Goscinny and Uderzo.
