1: Asterix In America
I think I had this Asterix comic book, but with another title which is "Asterix Conquers America" but I lost it, that's why I bought it again. As the rest of Uderzo & Goscinny's masterpieces, this adventure has the same fun loaded atmosphere but being taken by our friends to the New World ! ! ! Yes, just a small trip to catch some fresh fish, ended up in Asterix, Obelix & Dogmatix discovering America :D, much to the amazement of Asterix with the new people there, Obelix was so disappointed that he didn't find any boars, just alot of "Gobblers". They also meet some passing by "Vikings" trying to discover a new land ! ! ! ... Great adventure with lots lots of fun as always :D :D :D ...

2: Another great adventure!!
Another fascinating adventure by Asterix and Obelix! Worth to have it in your collection!!

3: Asterix conquers America! (a little of it, anyway...)
Rene Goscinny, Asterix and the Great Crossing (Dargaud, 1975)
Getafix is out of fish, and Unhygenix's shipment has been delayed. You wouldn't think this a problem, with our favorite Gaulish village being on the sea and all, but somehow it is, and Asterix and Obelix are off to the rescue again. Except that while they're out fishing, a storm brews up and sends them halfway around the world to a place where the boars have been replaced by "gobblers" and the Romans wear facepaint. Yes, this is the volume upon which Asterix Conquers America is (very loosely) based. Lots of Indians, some Danish vikings (so Goscinny could play with Hamlet, naturally), and the usual mix of punning and mayhem ensue. Another good one. ***

4: Asterix in America?
In Gaul, Getafix needs fish, it's vital for the magic potion they use to fend off the Romans. Unhygenix the fishmonger hates fresh fish, so Obelix and Asterix go exploring on Geriatrix's boat for some. Where will they go?
"The Great Crossing" (1975) is the 22nd Asterix comic, for Dogmatix it's number 18, and it sees Oumpah Pah (a character from a comic by the same guys) make a guest appearance. I really like this one. It's funny, drawn well. Everything to like about Asterix is here.

5: Great Asterix album
Asterix in America this album could have been called, as a storm leads Asterix and Obelix's ship out to the open ocean, and eventually to the new continent. There they met native americans, there is a clash of cultures at the beginning, but they finally are received as friends. They are finally brought back to Europe by vikings (this was centuries before the real vikings are believed to have reached North America, but one does not read Asterix to learn history). The viking's intention to hold them as slaves will not be successful, of course, as A&O have the magical potion at their side. All in all, a very good album by Asterix.
