Several of the most interesting Asterix plots involve the Gauls temporarily teaming up with the Romans. After the death of Goscinny, Uderzo continued the series by himself, writing his own stories on subjects such as feminism and aliens, with travels to India and Atlantis. Asterix and Obelix set off on a fishing expedition and inadvertently discover the Americas, full of “Gobblers” (turkeys) and “Romans” (Native Americans). Asterix’s visit to the Middle East is an early Uderzo-written effort that maintains the goodwill from the Goscinny years.It was fast-moving enough to entertain me as a kid, but in hindsight it marks the start of an era where Uderzo is out of new ideas for stories and relies on novelty to drive the series. The recent efforts from Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad are worthy – a rebound from Uderzo’s later albums, but not as strong as Goscinny’s best.
