Diagnostix

Diagnostix is a druid physician in the Asterix universe, a character whose punny name reflects his medical role — fitting the tradition of Gaulish characters named after their profession or personality. He appears alongside other inhabitants of ancient Gaul in comic adventures set during the Roman occupation.

Diagnostix is a Bronze Age creation who made their debut in 1972's Asterix #11, brought to life by the legendary team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo — and has been part of the beloved Asterix universe ever since, with appearances stretching all the way to 2025. Most at home in the Asterix Mundart and Asterix series published by Egmont Ehapa, this character keeps wonderfully colorful company, sharing pages with the likes of Prognostix, Julius Cäsar, and Gaius Faulus. With over five decades of presence and at least one key collector issue to their name, Diagnostix is a rewarding find for any dedicated Asterix enthusiast digging deeper into the rich cast that populates Goscinny and Uderzo's comic world.
