51965Asterix and the BanquetLe Tour de Gaule d'AstérixVarious French citiesUnsuccessful at conquering the village, the Romans decide to isolate it by building a stockade. To remove it, Asterix strikes a bet with the Romans that he and Obelix can travel throughout Gaul and back to the village with various Gaulish delicacies without the Romans being able to stop them.

A blow from one of Obelix's menhirs causes Getafix to lose his memory, leaving the Gauls without magic potion. The fight parodies professional boxing.
81966Asterix in BritainAstérix chez les BretonsBritainOne small village in Britain still holds out against the Roman invaders. But with no magic potion, they need help, so Asterix's cousin Anticlimax comes to Gaul seeking aid.
91966Asterix and the NormansAstérix et les NormandsAsterix's village (no travel)The Normans are fearless to the point of not even understanding the concept, so they travel to Gaul where they kidnap chief Vitalstatistix's cowardly visiting nephew Justforkix to teach them fear.

121968Asterix at the Olympic GamesAstérix aux Jeux OlympiquesGreeceTo participate in the Olympic Games in Greece, the Gauls register themselves as Romans. When the officials declare the magic potion to be a form of illegal doping, Asterix turns to his native abilities to compete.
131969Asterix and the CauldronAstérix et le chaudronCondatum (Rennes)Whosemoralsarelastix, chief of a nearby village, asks Vitalstatistix to hide his village's money to prevent the Romans from taking it.

151970Asterix and the Roman AgentLa ZizanieAsterix's village (no travel)A troublemaker is brought to Caesar in Rome; he was to be executed in the Colosseum, but is so conniving that the lions ate each other instead. Caesar sends him to the Gaulish village in an attempt to destroy unity.
161970Asterix in SwitzerlandAstérix chez les HelvètesSwitzerlandA 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.
171971The Mansions of the GodsLe Domaine des dieuxAsterix's village (no travel)Caesar tries to dilute solidarity and weaken local customs in Gaul by creating a vacation resort near the Village. The villagers sabotage the plan, first by magically replanting trees at the building site, and by creating a slaves' union; later by being obnoxious neighbors to the resident Romans.
181972Asterix and the Laurel WreathLes Lauriers de CésarRomeThoroughly 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.
191972Asterix and the SoothsayerLe DevinAsterix's village (no travel)In the absence of Getafix, a fraudulent seer seeks shelter in the Village during a storm. Camped in the forest, he makes predictions the villagers want to hear and asks them to provide items (food, alcohol and money) from which to 'read' the future. He is later captured by the Romans and ordered to convince the Gauls to abandon their village. Only Asterix remains skeptical.
201973Asterix in CorsicaAstérix en CorseCorsicaAs part of celebrations of the anniversary of Vercingetorix's victory at the Battle of Gergovia, the Gauls and their friends raid one of the nearby Roman camps.

211974Asterix and Caesar's GiftLe Cadeau de CésarAsterix's villageAt the end of their career, legionaries are granted plots of land in Roman colonies for retirement. A perpetually inebriated soldier is given the Village, by Caesar's hand, which he promptly sells to an innkeeper for wine. 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.
221975Asterix and the Great CrossingLa Grande traverséeNorth America and DenmarkBrewing the magic potion requires fresh fish, and Unhygienix has none since he imports them from Lutetia (Paris) (despite living by the sea). 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*1976Asterix Conquers RomeLes 12 Travaux D'Asterixvarious locationsTo 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. If they succeed, he will admit defeat and let them become the rulers of Rome, but if they fail, they will become his slaves. 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.)
231976Obelix and Co.Obélix et CompagnieAsterix'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.
241979Asterix in BelgiumAstérix chez les BelgesBelgiumWhen 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.
322003Asterix and the Class ActAstérix et la rentrée gauloiseMost stories take place in Asterix's villageA collection of several short stories, including an experiment at different drawing and storytelling styles. Most stories are written by Goscinny.
342009Asterix and Obelix's BirthdayL'Anniversaire d'Astérix et Obélix -
le Livre d'OrSeveral 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.

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.

1985 – L'illustrissime Belcantus (The Illustrious Belacantus)
1985 – L'abominable horrifix (The Dreadful Horrifix)

Also found in: Thesaurus, Financial, Encyclopedia. as·ter·isk(ăs′tə-rĭsk′)n.1.  A star-shaped figure (*) used chiefly to indicate an omission, a reference to a footnote, or an unattested word, sound, or affix.
2. Mathematics A symbol used to indicate multiplication, as in 2 * 3 = 6.
tr.v.as·ter·isked, as·ter·isk·ing, as·ter·isks
[Middle English, from Late Latin asteriscus, from Greek asteriskos, diminutive of astēr, star; see ster- in Indo-European roots.]
Usage Note:  The phonological phenomenon of metathesis involves the transposition of sounds or syllables in a word. Metathesis is responsible for the common rendering of ask as aks or ax. (This issue is discussed comprehensively at ax.) Similarly, one sometimes hears asterisk pronounced with the 'sk' transposed to produce a (ks) sound, as though the word were spelled asterix or astericks. Then, perhaps because this symbol is often written as one of a series (as ***, for example), some people apparently infer that astericks is the plural of a singular asterick, pronounced with just a final (k) sound. In 2014, the Usage Panel overwhelmingly preferred the traditional pronunciation for asterisk, although 24 percent found the asterix pronunciation acceptable and 19 percent found asterick acceptable. A mere 7 percent personally preferred the asterix pronunciation, and only 6 percent preferred the asterick one. See Usage Note at ax2.
