When the Romans take Huevos y Bacon’s son hostage, they discover that Little Pepe is a terrible handful. So maybe the legionnaires won’t mind so much when Asterix and Obelix save him. But along the way there’s lots of adventure, with Asterix inventing the art of bullfighting.

A review from Mr. Entertainment Lover,
By A Customer
This review is from: Asterix in Spain (Adventures of Asterix) (Paperback)
This a book that should keep you entertained. Asterix and Obelix must help a child from Spain get back to his village. On the way there they run into Roman soldiers, pirates, and plenty of adventures filled with laughter and comedy.

Rene Goscinny, Asterix in Spain (Orion, 1969)
If Asterix has to go help the Britons, he has to go help the Spaniards. It's like a rule. The feisty son of the sole village in Spain holding out against Roman rule (of course) is kidnapped by the legionnaires and spirited off to (where else?) Gaul, where he gets loose and runs into Asterix and Obelix, who promise to deliver him to his village. Hilarity ensues. Most are likely to see Goscinny's portrayals of Spaniards here as the same type of gentle fun-poking as one can find in, say, Asterix in Britain, but for those of you with sensitive skin, be warned that some folks may find them offensive. Otherwise, another fine adventure from Asterix and co. ***

Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asterix in Spain (Asterix (Orion Paperback)) (Paperback)
The Romans, after a bit of a dust up among themselves have been sorted out by Julius Caesar, and have finished their conquest of Spain. Well, except for one small village...
The son of the village chief is captured and held hostage by the Romans, who pass him around because he is such a brat. He ends up in a little Gaulish village. No-one else likes him, except Dogmatic. Some great artwork featuring the little pooch in this one, as he and the brat Pepe become good friends.
