The English translations are really fun too, and the translators (mostly Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge) did an amazing job IMO of translating what they could and maintaining the spirit when they couldn't. Now two omnibuses of Asterix comics in English are on sale at Kindle US, one for $0.99 and one for $1.99.
Asterix Omnibus #1: Asterix the Gaul, Asterix and the Golden Sickle, and Asterix and the Goths, $0.99

Unfortunately, it appears to be a new translation.
It may be fine, but could affect the nostalgia score for returning readers.
