Madame Methusalix

Madame Methusalix is a recurring supporting character in the Asterix universe, best known as the wife of the elderly Gaulish villager Methusalix. She appears in the Asterix series, embodying the comedic domestic life of the indomitable Gaulish village.

From the storied creative partnership of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, Madame Methusalix made her debut in MV Comix #26 in 1972, stepping onto the Bronze Age comics scene as part of the beloved Asterix universe published by Egmont Ehapa. Over more than five decades — a remarkable 53-year span across titles like Asterix, Asterix Mundart, and MV Comix — she has proven herself a genuinely enduring presence in European comics, sharing pages with the likes of Miraculix, Julius Cäsar, and Methusalix himself. With 79 catalog appearances and two collector-recognized key issues to her name, Madame Methusalix is exactly the kind of richly textured supporting character that rewards devoted fans who dig deeper into one of the great comic traditions of the twentieth century.
