    «It's like kids trying to write stories for adults or something.»
    There is an huge difference among write a good story and try to write a great one.
    «Heroism is not about being perfect or always winning, but breathing hope into the hopeless.»
    Batman's world isn't realistic. It's grounded in psychological realism… In real life, Batman's crusade would be a horrible idea.[…] But in the world Batman inhabits, it not only makes sense, it's absolutely the right thing to do.

    I read every book in the original Goscinny-Uderzo run. My favorites include - Asterix and the Olympics, Asterix the Gladiator, Asterix and the Great Banquet, Asterix and the Normans, Asterix and Son, Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield, Asterix and Cleopatra among others.

    Obviously some are better than others but generally there wasn't a bad Asterix album. Uderzo's pencils were teeming with detail and even in translation Goscinny's wit was great.

    Very sad news. I grew up reading the Asterix Books, Asterix the Legionary is my favourite
