Asterix
Asterix is the pint-sized, sharp-witted Gaulish warrior from a small village in 50 BC Gaul that stubbornly resists Roman occupation. His extraordinary strength comes from a magic potion brewed by the druid Getafix, fueling countless adventures against Caesar's legions.
Few comic characters can claim nearly six decades of uninterrupted adventures, but Asterix — the pint-sized, indomitable Gaul brought to life by the legendary duo René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo — has done exactly that since his 1967 Silver Age debut in the pages of MV Comix. With 244 catalog appearances spanning Asterix, Asterix Mundart, and beyond under Egmont Ehapa's banner, this is a character whose longevity speaks for itself, including nine key issues that any serious collector will want on their radar. He shares his pages with a wonderfully rich cast — Miraculix, Idefix, Troubadix, Majestix, Automatix, and more — a village's worth of personality that has kept readers coming back generation after generation. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering him, Asterix is one of comics' great treasures, as irresistible today as ever.
