Nonsense! What has age to do with comic books?
The comic book is a medium like TV or any other. What kind of stories you tell with them is completely up to the author. Every Genre is possible.
I have a few thousand comic books at home. Some of them I'd give to kids but most of them not because their stories are more mature.
Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, Frank Miller, Moebius, Alan Moore isn't exactly what
one understand as comic books, as in funny but rather graphic novels.

Don't let anybody tell you otherwise and take away the fun of reading comics or, even worse, feel ashamed for it.

That being said, I love Asterix & Obelix, have read and own every one of them.
My favourite story is the first, Asterix the Gaul, where the Romans capture the Druid and he plays tricks on them by brewing any potion but not the real magic potion they want to have. Consequences are long beards etc.

yeah the first one's story is one of the better ones. But I read it more to have the laughs. And I really find the one with the Nors, the one they join the Roman army, asterix in Belgica and the one they become gladiotors are the best i think.
