Baba

Baba is the German-localization name for Dogmatix (Idéfix in French), the small but spirited dog belonging to Obelix in the Asterix series. Devoted to his owner, Baba accompanies the Gauls on their adventures and is notably distressed whenever trees are uprooted.

Baba is a Silver Age creation who first stepped onto the page in 1969, born from the legendary collaboration of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, and has proven remarkably enduring — with a publishing span stretching across an extraordinary 57 years and 117 catalogued appearances. Most at home in the beloved Asterix and Asterix Mundart series from Egmont Ehapa, Baba keeps lively company alongside iconic figures like Miraculix, Julius Cäsar, and Gutemine, rubbing shoulders with some of the most recognizable names in European comics. With two key collector issues to their name, Baba is a character worth seeking out for any fan who loves the rich, warmly humorous world of Asterix and wants to dig a little deeper into its wonderfully populated universe.
