5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in a fabulous series, November 27, 2004
By 
Christian H. Holm "chholm2001" (Livermore, California United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Asterix at the Olympic Games (Paperback)
I read this title in both English and Spanish, and in both versious it was spectacular.

Asterix must compete in the Olympic Games against Romans and Greeks and is prohibited from using his precious Magic Potion!

His chief Rival, Legionaire Gluteus Maximus and Centurion Asparagus Veriambitious provide amazing comic relief in a story that adults and children can truly enjoy.

Any of the Asterix titles are great, I'd recomend all of thim, but this is a particular gem.
