Julius Pompilius

Julius Pompilius made his comics debut in 1968 — right at the heart of the Silver Age — stepping onto the page in the very first issue of the beloved Asterix series under the masterful hands of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. Published by Egmont Ehapa, this character has persisted across an impressive 56-year span, appearing in both the classic Asterix line and the delightful Asterix Mundart dialect editions, keeping distinguished company alongside the likes of Obelix, Miraculix, and Julius Cäsar himself. With a key-issue appearance to his name and a presence that has endured well into the 2020s, Julius Pompilius is a rewarding discovery for the dedicated collector who loves to dig deeper into one of comics' most richly populated and enduring universes.
