I visited Parc Asterix a few years ago. Small and compact, but better value than the rip-off that is Disneyland Paris.
In the centre of the place is a signpost pointing in 4 different directions - all of them to Rome!

Loved Astrix, the illustrations were gorgeous, and the English translation was very clever with the characters names.I visited Parc Asterix a few years ago. Small and compact, but better value than the rip-off that is Disneyland Paris.

I presume you mean the Mekon, Dan Dare's bitter enemy.The Meekon.
Somewhere in my loft, I still have the 1953 Eagle Annual, in reasonable nick, although I must have read it many times from cover to cover over the years.,
Coincidentally, the first ever Eagle comic was published on the day I was born - 14 April 1950.

And Tupper was always last after some disaster or other but stormed through to win.Loved the Victor and Warlord.
Alf Tupper : tough of the track.
Welder by day, athlete at night and fish and chipa for his tea every night.
As mentioned, Asterix - a classic writing and drawing, and an incredible English translation by a couple of people IIRC.
And because we went to France a lot as a kid, I also enjoyed the stories of Lucky Luke (cowboy), and Gaston Lagaffe (a lazy laid back inventor dude who worked for a print company).
On the home front, I enjoyed a lot of Battle Picture Weekly:
Charley's war - being the standout - illustration, story writing, historical detail
Johnny Red & The Bootneck boy - both of which remind me currently of Mariopol situation.
Darkie's mob - a very different story from WWII in Burma.
Can't remember the name , but something like The Fall Guy - about a german paratrooper - different and good.
Major Eazy - escapism
The Rat pack - escapism
I'm sure there were others, but they escape might accumulating years!
