| 16 | 1970 | Asterix in Switzerland | Astérix chez les Helvètes | Switzerland | A poisoned Roman tax inspector is given sanctuary in the Village. Asterix and Obelix are sent to Switzerland to recover a silver star flower, or edelweiss, which is needed to cure him. |

| 18 | 1972 | Asterix and the Laurel Wreath | Les Lauriers de César | Rome | Thoroughly chagrined by his obnoxious brother-in-law, Vitalstatistix gets drunk and boasts he will create a dish seasoned with Caesar's laurel wreath. He orders Asterix and Obelix travel to Rome to retrieve it. |

The innkeeper sells his property and attempts to claim the village as his own. Upon discovering his ownership is void, he is pushed by his dominant wife to campaign to be elected chief, causing rivalries throughout the village. To complicate matter, the soldier arrives and asks the local legions' aid in reclaiming his village, since he didn't get enough wine for it. |

Asterix and Obelix set sail to catch fish, but become lost and end up on the other side of the ocean, discovering a New World, where they eventually become a legend to the Native American populace. Soon afterwards, a Viking explorer discovers America, and captures the first natives he finds (i.e. Asterix and Obelix) and brings them home. A running joke in this comic is that none of the races are able to understand one another, the Vikings speaking with Scandinavian vowels that the Gauls are unable to duplicate, but that their dogs are able to communicate perfectly. |
| 23* | 1976 | Asterix Conquers Rome | Les 12 Travaux D'Asterix | various locations | To prove to his critics that the Gauls are mere mortals, Julius Caesar challenges the village to perform twelve tasks that only gods could perform, similar to the twelve tasks of Hercules.

The challenge is accepted and Asterix and Obelix are chosen to represent the village, eventually succeeding in all tasks. (This comic book, published in 1976, is an adaptation of the animated film The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. The artwork is thought to be by Uderzo's brother Marcel. It has rarely been printed and usually excluded from the canonical list of Asterix volumes.) |
| 23 | 1976 | Obelix and Co. | Obélix et Compagnie | Asterix's village (no travel) | Caesar sends one of his advisors to the Gaulish village, in an effort to make them rich, decadent and utterly dependent on Rome. He starts by buying menhirs at ever-increasing prices, thus persuading most of the village to make useless menhirs, and in turn employing other villagers to hunt for their food. The plan goes awry when Caesar's treasury proves insufficient to fund the menhirs, and a campaign to sell them in Rome fails because of competition from Egyptian menhirs and slave-made Roman menhirs. |
| 24 | 1979 | Asterix in Belgium | Astérix chez les Belges | Belgium | When Vitalstatistix hears that Caesar has said the Belgians are the bravest of all the Gaulish peoples he heads to Belgium in a huff to show the world that his Armoricans are really the best. |
| 32 | 2003 | Asterix and the Class Act | Astérix et la rentrée gauloise | Most stories take place in Asterix's village | A collection of several short stories, including an experiment at different drawing and storytelling styles. Most stories are written by Goscinny. |
| 34 | 2009 | Asterix and Obelix's Birthday | L'Anniversaire d'Astérix et Obélix - le Livre d'Or | Several short stories, including some written by Goscinny. |
Uderzo only[edit]
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. These newer books are often criticised for lacking Goscinny's humour and writing style, and some fans consider the series ended with Asterix in Belgium. However, sales figures have shown no indication of diminished popularity.

Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad[edit]
The series now is not written by Albert Uderzo, but rather by Jean-Yves Ferri and illustrated by Didier Conrad – the first time the story creating has been shared between two people since Goscinny's death in 1977.

Format[edit]
The storyline in a volume is typically 44 pages long; the exceptions are Asterix and the Goths, which is 43 pages, Asterix Conquers Rome, which is 28 pages; and Asterix and the Class Act and Asterix and Obelix's Birthday: The Golden Book, both of which are collections of short stories.[3]
In addition[edit]
In the mid-1980s a series of illustrated text stories appeared, with some original art, but mostly taken and modified from existing albums. These were 26 pages in a smaller format than the normal albums with large print. They are aimed at a younger audience and were not enthusiastically received; translation into other languages was spotty.
- 1984 – Les Pirates (The Pirates)
- 1985 – L'illustrissime Belcantus (The Illustrious Belacantus)
- 1985 – L'abominable horrifix (The Dreadful Horrifix)
- 1985 – Jericocorix (The Jericocorix)
- 1986 – La course de chars (The Great Chariot Race)
- 1986 – Le feu de pommes (The Apple Cider)
- 1986 – Marmaille et pagaille (Kids and Chaos)
- 1986 – L'eau du ciel (Water from Heaven)
In 1989 a final illustrated story appeared. The story was by Goscinny (in 1965) with new, original art by Uderzo. It was 32 pages and appeared in the larger format used for the regular albums. It was the only one that was published in English:
- 1989 – Comment Obelix est tombe dans la marmite du druide quand il etait petit (How Obelix Fell into the Magic Potion When he was a Little Boy)
Also in 1989–90 the first eight illustrated stories were reprinted in some locales as four books, each containing two of the original stories.
- 1999 – Le livre d' Asterix le Gaulois
In 2007, Editions Albert René published Astérix et ses Amis (Asterix and friends), a collection of short Asterix stories written and drawn by, and in the distinctive styles of, a number of cartoonists other than Uderzo. The book was dedicated to Uderzo on the occasion of his 80th birthday and carries a foreword by Sylvie, his daughter.

| 23 | 1976 | Obelix and Co. | Obélix et Compagnie | Asterix's village (no travel) | Caesar sends one of his advisors to the Gaulish village, in an effort to make them rich, decadent and utterly dependent on Rome. He starts by buying menhirs at ever-increasing prices, thus persuading most of the village to make useless menhirs, and in turn employing other villagers to hunt for their food. The plan goes awry when Caesar's treasury proves insufficient to fund the menhirs, and a campaign to sell them in Rome fails because of competition from Egyptian menhirs and slave-made Roman menhirs. |
| 24 | 1979 | Asterix in Belgium | Astérix chez les Belges | Belgium | When Vitalstatistix hears that Caesar has said the Belgians are the bravest of all the Gaulish peoples he heads to Belgium in a huff to show the world that his Armoricans are really the best. |
| 32 | 2003 | Asterix and the Class Act | Astérix et la rentrée gauloise | Most stories take place in Asterix's village | A collection of several short stories, including an experiment at different drawing and storytelling styles. Most stories are written by Goscinny. |
| 34 | 2009 | Asterix and Obelix's Birthday | L'Anniversaire d'Astérix et Obélix - le Livre d'Or | Several short stories, including some written by Goscinny. |
Uderzo only[edit]
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. These newer books are often criticised for lacking Goscinny's humour and writing style, and some fans consider the series ended with Asterix in Belgium. However, sales figures have shown no indication of diminished popularity.

The men and woman have to settle their differences to overcome this threat. |

Format[edit]
The storyline in a volume is typically 44 pages long; the exceptions are Asterix and the Goths, which is 43 pages, Asterix Conquers Rome, which is 28 pages; and Asterix and the Class Act and Asterix and Obelix's Birthday: The Golden Book, both of which are collections of short stories.[3]
In addition[edit]
In the mid-1980s a series of illustrated text stories appeared, with some original art, but mostly taken and modified from existing albums. These were 26 pages in a smaller format than the normal albums with large print. They are aimed at a younger audience and were not enthusiastically received; translation into other languages was spotty.
- 1984 – Les Pirates (The Pirates)
- 1985 – L'illustrissime Belcantus (The Illustrious Belacantus)
- 1985 – L'abominable horrifix (The Dreadful Horrifix)
- 1985 – Jericocorix (The Jericocorix)
- 1986 – La course de chars (The Great Chariot Race)
- 1986 – Le feu de pommes (The Apple Cider)
- 1986 – Marmaille et pagaille (Kids and Chaos)
- 1986 – L'eau du ciel (Water from Heaven)
In 1989 a final illustrated story appeared. The story was by Goscinny (in 1965) with new, original art by Uderzo. It was 32 pages and appeared in the larger format used for the regular albums. It was the only one that was published in English:
- 1989 – Comment Obelix est tombe dans la marmite du druide quand il etait petit (How Obelix Fell into the Magic Potion When he was a Little Boy)
Also in 1989–90 the first eight illustrated stories were reprinted in some locales as four books, each containing two of the original stories.
- 1999 – Le livre d' Asterix le Gaulois
In 2007, Editions Albert René published Astérix et ses Amis (Asterix and friends), a collection of short Asterix stories written and drawn by, and in the distinctive styles of, a number of cartoonists other than Uderzo. The book was dedicated to Uderzo on the occasion of his 80th birthday and carries a foreword by Sylvie, his daughter.
