Kontrabas

Kontrabas stepped onto the page in 1972, a Bronze Age creation brought to life by the legendary team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo — with Gudrun Penndorf lending her hand to this particular edition — and has since carved out a modest but genuine niche across the beloved Asterix universe. Published under Egmont Ehapa and appearing in both Asterix and the dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart series, this character keeps lively company with the likes of Automatix, Tullius Redeflus, and Bratensos across a publishing run that stretched into the mid-1980s. With only four catalog appearances, Kontrabas is the kind of find that rewards the dedicated collector who loves exploring the full, wonderfully sprawling world of Asterix beyond the headline names.
