Claudius Musculus

Tucked into the beloved world of Asterix, Claudius Musculus is a Bronze Age creation who made his debut in Asterix #12 in 1972, brought to life by the legendary team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo alongside Gudrun Penndorf. Over roughly twelve years, this minor but memorable figure pops up across Asterix and the dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart editions published by Egmont Ehapa, sharing pages with the likes of Obelix, Automatix, and a colorful cast of characters that makes every appearance a treat. With only four catalog appearances, Claudius Musculus is a rare find — a small piece of the rich Roman-Gallic tapestry that true Asterix devotees love to track down.
