Asterix

Asterix is a small but cunning Gaulish warrior living in a village in ancient Gaul that stubbornly resists Roman occupation. Empowered by a magic potion brewed by the druid Getafix, he and his oversized friend Obelix outwit Roman legions in comic adventures.

Few comics characters carry the warmth and wit of Asterix, the plucky Gaulish hero who made his catalog debut in 1973 under the hands of Goscinny, Ingrid Emond, and Uderzo during the Bronze Age of comics. Published across nearly two decades, this beloved figure shares his adventures with an irresistible cast — the indomitable Obelix, the wise Miraculix, the chief Majestix, the bard Troubadix, and the faithful little dog Idefix — a ensemble that any fan of the series will recognize with a grin. With 16 appearances spanning multiple series editions, including Asterix (Ny utgåva), this is a character whose enduring charm clearly transcended borders and publishing formats. If you've ever wanted to follow one of comics' most celebrated Gallic adventurers through a Scandinavian lens, this corner of the catalog is a delightful place to start.
