I couldn't agree more. These books gave me a sense of empowerment when I read them as a child. As an adult, I joined a musical group called 'Asterix and the Gauls' and we, like the comic book characters, fought against an oppressor. Our fight was against the dull pop music of the time, not the Romans - and the spirit of the real Asterix and the Gauls kept us going through thick and thin!
