The storyline in a volume is typically 44 pages long; the exceptions are Asterix and the Golden Sickle, which is 42 pages, Asterix and the Goths, which is 43 pages, Asterix Conquers Rome, which is 28 pages, Asterix and the Chariot Race, which is 45 pages; and Asterix and the Class Act and Asterix and Obelix's Birthday: The Golden Book, both of which are collections of short stories.

Text stories

In 1967, Goscinny and Uderzo produced a narrated adventure Le menhir d'or on vinyl, accompanied by an illustrated storybook to be read along with the record. The book was reprinted with a new recording accessible by download in 2020.
In the mid-1980s a series of illustrated text stories appeared, with some original art, but mostly taken and modified from existing albums. These were 26 pages in a smaller format than the normal albums with large print. They are aimed at a younger audience and were not enthusiastically received; translation into other languages was spotty. Unofficial fan translations to English of a few of these titles exist.

1984 – Les Pirates
1985 – L'illustrissime Belcantus
1985 – L'abominable
1985 – Jericocorix
1986 – La course de chars
1986 – Le feu de pommes
1986 – Marmaille et pagaille
1986 – L'eau du ciel

In 1989 a final illustrated story appeared. The story was by Goscinny with new, original art by Uderzo. It was 32 pages and appeared in the larger format used for the regular albums. It was the only one that was published in English:

1989 – Comment Obelix est tombé dans la marmite du druide quand il était petit

Also in 1989–90 the first eight illustrated stories were reprinted in some locales as four books, each containing two of the original stories.

1999 – Le livre d' Asterix le Gaulois

In 2007, Editions Albert René published Astérix et ses Amis, a collection of short Asterix stories written and drawn by, and in the distinctive styles of, a number of cartoonists other than Uderzo. The book was dedicated to Uderzo on the occasion of his 80th birthday and carries a foreword by Sylvie, his daughter.

Film adaptations

Asterix films not based closely on a single book have had film books released in a format similar to the original albums, but with scenes from the films and a written story.

1976 – The Twelve Tasks of Asterix ; twelve short illustrated books, each covering one of the tasks, were also published.
1985 – Asterix Versus Caesar
1989 – Operation Getafix, based on the film Asterix and the Big Fight
1994 – Asterix Conquers America
2006 – Asterix and the Vikings
