Asterix and Obelix set out on another adventure, this time to Mesopotamia, to bring an essential ingredient- rock oil, for the druid Getafix's magic potion. Their journey is fraught with danger from the Romans and loads of double crossing.
Another great Asterix book.

Another great story! For those Asterix amateurs, this is one more piece for the collection.
What Do Tintin and Asterix Have in Common? Black Gold
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
If you read Tintin, you will be aware of one adventure titled 'The Land of Black Gold'. Asterix also has to travel to the land of black gold - oil - so Getafix can continue to make his magic potion. One of the few adventures where we get to know what goes into that fabled magic potion - at least one ingredient! This adventure is also well worth a read (no, multiple reads) for its send up of 007 and Sean Connery! Seriously, read it to believe it.There is not much action with the romans, at least not the ones in Gaul - you get so used to them being pummelled in every adventure that when it doesn't happen you actually miss it!
