Normans never feel fear—but they do believe that terror literally gives one wings, enabling a person to fly. Now they’re planning to test their theory on Vitalstatistix’s cowardly nephew Jusforkix by pushing him right off the edge of a cliff.

It's a Norman conquest,
By Ryan (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asterix and the Normans (Asterix (Orion Paperback)) (Paperback)
The Normans have no fear...so it is practically impossible to cure hiccups...and their names all end in 'af'!...This book is marvellous and will keep you filled with laughter. Buy it! buy it! (Or borrow it from a friend, read it, and then you'll understand why you'll want your own copy)

Rolling Menhirs...,
This review is from: Asterix and the Normans (Asterix (Orion Paperback)) (Paperback)
Fight or flight, sayings say. Vikings from Norway take this to heart, it seems. They know no fear, and when they do, they believe they will be able to fly. Where will they learn fear? In Gaul, they say, so off they go. At the village in Gaul, Vitalstatistix's nephew, Jusforkix, is visiting. He doesn't know the meaning of courage, but he knows all about music...
It's not my favorite, but Asterix #9, "Asterix and the Normans" (1966) gets pretty funny in parts. I like Justforkix.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asterix and the Normans Pb (Paperback)
A relative of Vitalstatistix's sends his son to him for some toughening up training, as he is a party boy that likes fast cars, not your manly Gaulish warrior types.
When some fearless Normans invade on a scientific expedition to discover the meaning of fear, the young lad packs death, but is exactly the man that the Normans want.
