Excus

A minor but memorable face in the beloved Asterix universe, Excus made their debut in 1970 courtesy of the legendary creative team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, stepping onto the page during comics' Silver Age. Published under Egmont Ehapa, this character has popped up across an impressive span of titles — including the dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart — keeping colorful company alongside the likes of Gaudeamus, Schönfix, and Heuchlerix over a publishing history stretching more than three decades. With only five catalog appearances, Excus is very much a collector's curiosity: one of those delightful background figures that rewards the dedicated fan who reads every panel closely and savors the rich, sprawling world Goscinny and Uderzo built.
