Reviews

[Maria Lavrador · Rating 4 out of 5]

Um livro feito de pequenas histórias sobre os nossos herois gauleses

[Vigneswara Prabhu · Rating 4 out of 5]

An Anthology stories, as well as a return to form for the series. Dating back to the original run by Rene Goscinny, the short but entertaining stories add a much needed spice to the collection.

It boasts a variety of tales, from when our main cast were kids, from when our Dynamic duo were born, to when the animals of the world take on the allegorical mantle of the factions. This and much more, meta jokes, satire, puns, all in full glory.

Something which would've been better suited as a newspaper/ comic strip, but is nonetheless worth the read.

The collected Asterix short stories!
These are as varied as they are fabulous!
We see: a story about how the animals of the village also hold out against Roman Imperialism; a story about Gaulish fashion; the birth of our heroes; Asterix in the styles of several other comix; the Obelix family tree; how Lutetia won a competition to host the Olympics; how Spring defeated Winter with the help of the village of Indomitable Gauls; a lot of Roman-bashing; and numourous other adventures! Absolutely top-notch work from Goscinny and Uderzo, spanning 40+ years of Asterix comics history.

[Craig Sisterson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one for the fans of the Asterix series, a delightful special collection of 14 Asterix 'short stories' (generally 2-4 page comic strips) from throughout the history of the character.

If you're a fan of Asterix there is a lot to love here, as we see fun little dalliances Goscinny and Uderzo took over the decades they were writing and drawing Asterix and his cohorts. There are short strips to time with Paris applying to host the 1992 Olympic Games, spring-themed comic strips, strips about the animals in the Gaulish village, to respond to political points and reader fan mail and questions. There's even a strip where Asterix and Obelix are drawn in the style of other famous cartoons, including the likes of Peanuts and Flash Gordon.

Even though it isn't a long-form story such as what English-speaking readers know of the characters and authors, ASTERIX AND THE CLASS ACT is a lovely addition to the indomitable Gauls oeuvre.

[Gavin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Asterix and the Class Act is a grab bag of about a dozen short stories, published in various places over the last few decades, collected here together for the first time. I'm familiar with the Dogmatix storyline, as it was published as a stand alone book we bought my dad when I was young.

There's also the title, taken from when Obelix can't answer a simple question, and gets put back in class by Getafix.

Some OK stuff, but no really engaging story that grabs you, more of a curio and one time browse through.

Non-Essential.

Shorts. Backstories, meta-jokes, etc.

[Preetam Chatterjee · Rating 5 out of 5]

A charming collection of short stories—holiday misadventures, childhood flashbacks, ancient sports days. It’s light, nostalgic, and serves as a warm embrace for fans who’ve walked with these characters since childhood.

I read this one night while looking through old school essays. Every short story felt like a homecoming. Especially the one where Asterix and Obelix recall their first wild boar hunt—it felt like flipping through a dusty photo album of a youth never wasted. I smiled the whole time.

[Luke · Rating 4 out of 5]

An intriguing collection of short stories, although I can't help but feel at least one slightly longer one would've made this set even better.
Of most interest was the Parisian (nee Lutetian) bid for the Olympics in '92, the versions of the characters drawn in the style of other comics and seeing how Uderzo's artwork has changed over the years from the gritty, detail heavy stuff early on to a much lighter and simpler style later in life.
Very interesting but only really for the fans.

"Galijskie początki" to zbiór krótkich opowiadań, które zostały stworzone na przestrzeni lat. Oprócz możliwości obserwacji zmieniającej się kreski twórców, przed każdym opowiadaniem jest krótki wstęp, który wyjaśnia genezę powstania danego opowiadania.

A tak poza tym to Asteriks i Obeliks. Ocena nie będzie inna, bo wygrywają sentymenty.

[France Fournier · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quelle bande dessinée particulière, mais enrichissante! J'ai adoré parcourir l'histoire de l'auteur et de l'illustrateur d'Astérix. Connaître leur cheminement et l'évolution de nos personnages favoris. Très intéressant !

It was ok, like it was kind of confusing, but no asterix book is ever bad. I’d give it like a 3.5.

[Sarah Mcgrath · Rating 5 out of 5]

A collection of short stories which are very funny. My favourite is Latinomanie.

[Joost Brokamp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Een stripboek met vele erg leuke korte verhalen. Vooral de stamboom van Obelix - fantastisch.

[looneybooks79 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Het pretpakket is een verzameling van veertien kortverhalen die in de jaren dat Goscinny en Uderzo de Asterix reeks tekenden hadden verzameld en vaak ook eerder publiceerden in tijdschriften. In 2003 verzamelde de uitgeverij al deze kortverhalen in deze bundel. Uderzo tekende dan ook nog een nieuw verhaal waarin hij Canteclerix, een haan in het Gallische dorpje, de hoofdrol liet spelen.

Uiteindelijk is dit dan ook een heel leuke en vaak ook grappige verzameling geworden van verhalen waarin onder andere Obelix terug naar school moet gaan (nadat ze de kinderen eerst hebben moeten zien te vangen), de geboorte van Asterix en Obelix, de gewoonte om te kussen onder de maretak heeft een ongewoon effect op Obelix, de vrouwen spelen natuurlijk ook een heel grote rol én er wordt plaats gemaakt voor hommages (of karikaturen) van de hoofdpersonages… (misschien moet er ook eens een hommage komen van andere striptekenaars?)

Kortom een verzameling aan heerlijk grappige en typische Asterix kortverhalen! En de tekenaars zelf? Die verschijnen zélf ook op het einde van dit album! De moeite waard om te ontdekken, geloof me!

[Deborah · Rating 5 out of 5]

14 short stories ranging from the birth of Asterix and Obelix, who were born on the same day in 35 BC, a poster and cartoon to support Paris' bid for the 1992 Olympics, Chanticleerix (the rooster), kissing under the mistletoe, anthological pieces of different graphic styles of the strip as suggested by fans, Dogamatix the Mascot, and the authors' encounter of a descendant of Obelix. I thoroughly enjoyed reading of and revisiting Asterix, Obelix, Druid Getafix, Chief Vitalstatistix and his wife, Impedimenta, Cacofonix, Unhygienix (the fishmonger), Fulliautomatix (the blacksmith), Mr. And Mrs. Geriatrix, Panacea, and all the other lovable Gauls. Thanks to the talent of Goscinny and Uderzo for resurrecting my childhood memories of this great series. Veni, Vidi, Vici.

[Tyas · Rating 5 out of 5]

The three panels I like the best in this book:

Uderzo, punching Goscinny: "YES!"

Goscinny, headbutting Uderzo: "YES!"

Their silhouttes walking towards the sunset.
Goscinny: "I love you."
Uderzo: "Me neither."

The two best friends have spawned something eternal.

[Mónica Cordero Thomson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Este es un libro diferente de Asterix y Obelix, pues no recoge una aventura, sino 14 historietas breves.
Pero sigue teniendo ese espíritu "gamberro", divertido y refrescante.
Entretenido.

serie di storie brevi che, per me, non vanno oltre il "caruccia"

[Simbasible Comics · Rating 4 out of 5]

Asterix and the Class Act is the 32nd volume of the Asterix comic strip series that was written and illustrated by Albert Uderzo. It was published in 2003 and it’s a very amusing compilation of stories.

This isn’t your standard Asterix comic. In fact, it’s not a full story, but a collection of short stories that were previously published in a magazine and forgotten until this volume came out. Overall, this experiment was mostly a success. It’s uneven as expected, but the majority of these stories were a delight.

The introduction by Vitalstatistix was repeated from ‘Asterix and the Big Fight’, so it was just filler. The titular story was quite funny as Obelix got to go to school with the kids. The story about the birth of Asterix and Obelix was also quite amusing, though more could have been done with this premise. Obelix failing to kiss Panacea made for one very endearing and fun story. The wintery landscape there was gorgeous.

Chanticleerix is the only story here that was created just for this volume with Uderzo at the helm. It is an example of his clear affinity for animal-centric gags. It’s rather solid and reasonably diverting, but Dogmatix speaking and Obelix understanding him was not a good idea at all. A fashion show and the discussion about hosting the Olympics made for two forgettable stories that were not all that interesting. The spring story was too fantastical, but the kidnapping of Dogmatix story was quite fun and charming.

Let’s talk about some of the best stories in this volume. Asterix As You Have Never Seen Him Before… is an utter delight. This section was dedicated to fans and their crazy ideas that were here put to paper. Those include sci-fi Asterix, a black and white as well as a psychedelic take on the series.

Another highlight is the Latinamania story about the bastardization of French language. It was insightful and quite funny. I also loved the final two stories starring the authors. One is about them brainstorming ideas while the other is about them bumping upon Obelix’s descendant. That one was so charming. Most of these stories ultimately worked, though obviously a sense of momentum and a strong connective tissue were absent here. But the introductory pages were fittingly contextual and informational. The illustrations were also incredible and with frequently colorful, gorgeous color palette.

Asterix and the Class Act is a wonderful compilation of short stories, the majority written by Goscinny himself before his untimely death. It’s an uneven, but gorgeously illustrated, endearing and wonderful time capsule for the series.

[Lucian Bogdan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mi-a plăcut.

Albumul reunește o serie de benzi desenate scurte - între 1 și 5 planșe - realizate de-a lungul timpului de către Goscinny și Uderzo pentru diverse ocazii. Bineînțeles, conținând povești în care apar galii nesupuși. De exemplu, una dintre ele, care se concentrează pe lupta dintre un cocoș și un vultur, include intervenția lui Idefix pentru a-i oferi cocoșului o gură de poțiune magică, necesară obținerii victoriei. Fiecare bandă desenată are un scurt preambul în care se explică ocazia cu care a fost creată, unde a apărut și dacă a necesitat sau nu intervenții pentru includerea în album.

Desigur, ansamblul e departe de savoarea unei aventuri complete cu Asterix și Obelix, intrigile sunt simple, axate pe subiectul pentru care au fost create (cum ar fi, de exemplu, cea folosită pentru promovarea organizării Jocurilor Olimpice la Paris). Planeșele încorporează diverse elemente dezvoltate în diverse albume, permițându-le pasionaților seriei să completeze singuri, mental, diversele elemente din cadru în conformitate cu ceea ce știu deja despre aventuri similare.

Există și câteva aspecte inedite, cum ar fi planșele unde cei doi protagoniști sunt desenați în conformitate cu stilul altor desenatori / benzi desenate, sau includerea unor aventuri unde personajele sunt tocmai cei doi creatori, Goscinny și Uderzo - evident, surprinși în cadrul unor aventuri ce au legătură cu galii nesupuși.

E un album necesar, pentru că era păcat să nu fie reunite toate aceste bijuterii. Dar se adresează în mod cert doar pasionaților seriei, fanilor și colecționarilor adevărați, care vor fi capabili să-i aprecieze importanța, farmecul ascuns.

[Tuomas Lähteenmäki · Rating 3 out of 5]

Asterix-sarjan ylimääräinen osa, kokoelma eri julkaisuissa ilmestyneitä lyhyitä tarinoita vuosien varrelta. Pituudeltaan tarinat vaihtelevat yhdestä sivusta viiteen, ja mukana on sekä Goscinnyn kirjoittamia että Uderzon yksinään toteuttamia tarinoita. Jokaisen tarinan yhteydessä myös kerrotaan hieman sen syntyhistoriasta. Viimeisissä tarinoissa loikataan metatasolle, kun Goscinny ja Uderzo astuvat itse päähenkilöiksi.

Suurin osa tarinoista on pikkuhauskoja vitsejä, muutamaan on laadittu jopa yksinkertainen seikkailujuoni. Vain harvassa tarinassa on kuitenkaan erityisempiä ansioita, hauskin juttu lienee Asterixien tavanomaisia kuvioita parodioiva Ennennäkemätön Asterix. Taustoitus on usein kiinnostavampaa kuin itse tarinat; albumi jakaa tietoa esimerkiksi Asterixin yhteydestä Pariisin olympiahankkeeseen tai yrityksistä viedä hahmoa Amerikan markkinoille.

Gallialainen kertomataulu on faneille mielenkiintoinen lisä täyspitkien seikkailujen kylkeen, mutta erityisen säväyttäväksi lukukokemukseksi sitä ei voi väittää. Lukija viihtyy aikansa, mutta käteen ei jää juuri kuriositeettiarvoa kummempaa.

[Paulo Teixeira · Rating 4 out of 5]

(PT) Conjunto de histórias inéditas de Goscigny e Uderzo sobre os nossos heróis e algumas das situações que tiveram de assumir, muitas delas na revista "Pilote". Uma delas foi o apoio a candidatura olímpica de Paris aos Jogos de 1992 - que foram para Barcelona - ou outra sobre as origens de Obelix até ao século XX, onde intervêm os autores.

"Asterix e o Regresso dos Gauleses" é um apanhado, pouco ou nada há de novo. Mas são esses inéditos que vêm descborir muitas das coisas que pouco se sabiam sobre os autores e as personagens, como por exemplo, de onde é que vêm as ideias... pelo menos, na explicação dos autores.

Apesar de não ser uma história como as outras, há elementos divertidos, onde se pode ver a genialidade criativa dos autores, e onde por exemplo, como Goscigny poderá ser dos escritores mais geniais de BD do século XX.

[Jade · Rating 5 out of 5]

Full disclosure, I grew up on this series so my opinion is necessarily biased.

I'm of the view that there is no such thing as a bad Asterix book ... but some volumes, like this one, is pretty good ... but squarely aimed at fans. This is an eclectic collection of short pieces that the authors had created over the years.

As a child I was fortunate enough to read through a teacher's copy of the 1993 edition of Astérix et la Réntrée gauloise. I only read it once and I was quite young but I specifically remembered the story about Spring and the story about Obelix's descendants. I then spent the rest of my childhood assuming I had imagined the whole thing. I can't tell you how delighted I was when a new edition of this collection was reissued in 2003 and I was able to own a copy for myself.

In diesem Buch geht es um Asterix und Obelix und 14 kurze Abenteuer. Von der Geburt und Kindheit über Weihnachtsbräuche bis zu Fanarts.

Ich finde, dass ein recht brutaler Schulanfang im gallischen Dorf herrscht. Denn Asterix und Obelix sammeln die Kinder ein und bringen sie zur Schule. Wie kann es denn auch anders sein bei den Galliern?

Mir gefällt gut, dass hier wieder Uderzo und Goscinny wiedervereint sind. Denn im vorherigen Band, wo Goscinny fehlte, war es schon etwas seltsam. Nun ist es wieder besser.

Ich habe das Werk für die Aufgabe "Lies ein Comic" der Lese-Herausforderung N.E.W.T.s gelesen. Somit habe ich in folgenden Bereichen Aufgaben erledigt:
Schreiber (fertig)

Fazit? Recht gutes Comic. Bitte mehr davon!

[Amy Dale · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very special volume of 14 short stories that were unpublished in English for a long time. Between each story is the story of how each tale came about and what magazine or company it was made for. Most stories were 4-6 pages at the longest. There's even one where Uderzo illustrated them in several different comic styles from Peanuts to a retro superhero style.

I liked them all but the one about Chanticleerix the rooster was so cute and I loved the mistletoe one because I love Panacea and Obelix.
