Eine Hommage an Uderzo - als Sammlerstück wichtig, einige sehr schöne Geschichten sind enthalten, manche sind aber auch eher seltsam. ( )

Asterix et ses amis was compiled for Albert Uderzo for his 80th birthday. It is a compilation of 1-4 page tribute comics by (mostly French) comic artists. Most of the comics present Asterix (as the title says) in wildly differing situations, but other Uderzo's comic characters make appearances as well.

Most of the artists have Asterix meeting their own hit chracters, i.e. in Walthéry's contribution Natasha's crew crash-land into the Gaull village, Vicar makes Donald Duck take Asterix and Obelix into Duckburg, etc.

As do the artists, the short contributions vary a lot in style and story. But, since the book assembles 30 different artists, every Asterix friend should find something for their tastes. :) ( )
