This review is from: Asterix Omnibus : Includes Asterix and the Magic Carpet #28, Asterix and the Secret Weapon #29, Asterix and Obelix All at Sea #30 (Paperback)
The color print is washed out; text suffers the most with that font style. It's a great price and that may be the reason for the bad print.

A very enjoyable series. Of course, you have to be able to understand the subtle humor in these books. Definitely not for those who only like serious reading. If you enjoy slapstick humor you might still enjoy these, but you may want to look a little deeper than that.
