Lacmus

Stepping out of the beloved world of ancient Gaul, Lacmus made their comic debut in 1969 — right in the Silver Age of comics — courtesy of the legendary creative team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, with Gudrun Penndorf lending their talents to the mix. This character inhabits the rich, humor-filled universe of Asterix, sharing pages with iconic figures like Asterix, Obelix, and Miraculix across both the classic Asterix series and the dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart editions published by Egmont Ehapa. It's that Mundart connection that makes Lacmus a particularly charming find for collectors — these regional-language editions are a delightful corner of the Asterix world, celebrating the series' remarkable cultural reach across more than five decades. With a catalog presence stretching all the way to 2025, Lacmus is a small but enduring thread in one of comics' most beloved and long-running tapestries.
