As far back as I can remember, we borrowed at least one Asterix comic everytime we went to the town library.
Initially, I'm sure it was just the pictures that appealed. They're so brightly coloured and intricate.
Later, the overall story was fun (I guess at about age 9 or so).
And even later I loved the names and working out the puns in them They're outstanding in English.
I still love the books.
And I'm pretty sure that Asterix is the reason why I was interested in Roman history.
I love TinTin too, but on a different level. I didn't connect with them in the same way as I did with Asterix.

Mine was in Danish though so I never really understood what was going on. I could only guess by the pictures.
