Asterix and Tintin - The very best Comic Books ever

Asterix Comics:

Written by Rene Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, Asterix Comics is a series of French comics which was first published within the late 1950's. However, following the death of Rene, Uderzo used both the tasks and has played an instrumental role in raising the popularity from the books.

The main characters within the Asterix Comics are Asterix, a clever little Gaul, and his friend Obelix. The main plot is centered on their little Gaulish village that's the only one not under Roman conquest, much to the Chagrin of Julies Ceaser, the Roman Emperor.

The Gauls have so far managed to avoid occupation thanks mainly with the help of a magic potion produced by their druid, Getafix. This magic potion gives each villager superhuman strength and just Obelix is the one who doesn't have the potion because he fell in to the potion cauldron as a child and hence it has a permanent impact on him.

Asterix Comics or even the Adventures of Asterix and Obelix have been translated into a lot more than 30 languages worldwide and also have also received numerous awards along the years. Personally, i love the Asterix Comics for their amazing spontaneity and tongue-in-cheek interpretations of various people and events.

Tintin Comics:

Tintin Comics or The Adventures of Tintin, created by the Belgian artist Georges Rémi who wrote under the pen name of Hergé, is really a number of classic comics that have gone on to become probably the most popular comic books of the 20th century. Its popularity has soared with translations published in more than 80 languages so that as per Wikipedia, more than 350 million copies from the books happen to be sold up to now.

The main protagonist of the comic books is Tintin who plays a Belgian reporter. Accompanying him through the books and nearly as famous as him is his pooch Snowy. Also included within the books are a handful of recurring characters that are necessary to the story. A few of the major characters range from the brash, cynical and grumpy Captain Haddock, the brilliantly intelligent but always-lost Professor Calculus. Inserting a dash of humor within the books using their clumsy antics is the twin duo of Thomson and Thompson, the incompetent detectives.
