Product Description:
To impress Julius Caesar, Queen Cleopatra promises to build the Roman Emperor a magnificent palace in just three months. Of course, Asterix has to get involved. By the time his feisty group from Gaul have finished, they’ve outwitted the Roman army, too.

- FunnyAsterix has a timeless appeal. Terrific stories, spectacular illustrations, extraordinary puns, charming characters, clever gags...i'm running out of adjectives here. Goscinny and Uderzo, thanks for a brilliantly executed series. I can't get enough of it.
This one is one of my favorites. I have a pug nose myself, so all the remarks about Cleopatra's nose were particularly funny. What a nose! And what a chariot!

- One of the more amusing early works.Rene Goscinny, Asterix and Cleopatra (Orion, 1969)
Cleopatra makes a bet with Caesar that she can build him a monument in "decadent" Egypt within thirty days, and then realizes she doesn't have the manpower to do it. So, of course, it's our indomitable Gauls to the rescue. It's amazing how many twists and subplots Goscinny could smash into forty-eight pages, and this is one of the books in the series that showcases the surprising complexity the series could achieve. Good stuff. ***

- Magic Potion...Queen Cleopatra has been challenged by Julius Caesar. Queen Cleopatra challenges Edifis. They've got three months to build Julius an Egyptian estate. Edifis sails to Gaul to get his friend Getafix. Getafix's got a magic potion. May help speed up things...
"Asterix and Cleopatra" is Asterix #6. Special sort of one, I thought. Fun, colourful and kind of exotic. Feels like a holiday for Asterix and Obelix. Saw the "Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra" film. Sort of coloured it for me, ... Read More

- Truly a nose - I mean story - of legendary proportions!!!This is by far my favorite of all the Asterix and Obelix stories. Goscinny is truly in his prime here. It's all there: the frustrated, abused bard, the shipwrecked pirates and of course, the nose of Cleopatra (a nose whose beauty is unsurpassed). As an added bonus, we finally get to see how the Sphinx lost its nose (and where it was rather conspicuously buried). Just for that, this thing is worth it!
