Madame Automatix

Madame Automatix is a recurring villager in the Asterix universe, inhabiting the indomitable Gaulish village alongside characters like Obelix and Majestix. She is the wife of Automatix the blacksmith, known for her sharp tongue and enthusiastic participation in the village's frequent brawls.

Born from the legendary creative partnership of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, Madame Automatix made her debut in 1973's MV Comix #5/1973, stepping into the beloved world of Asterix as a Bronze Age addition to one of comics' most enduring and warmly comic Gaulish villages. Over more than five decades she has appeared across Asterix, Asterix Mundart, and MV Comix, keeping lively company with the likes of Obelix, Majestix, Verleihnix, and Madame Methusalix — the colorful cast of characters that make this world so irresistible. Her staying power through 1973 to 2025, published by Egmont Ehapa, speaks to the remarkable longevity of the Asterix universe, and for collectors who love the rich tradition of Franco-Belgian comics, tracking down her appearances is a delightful journey through one of the medium's most joyful corners.
