Marcus Sacapus

Few characters embody the delightful sprawl of the Asterix universe quite like Marcus Sacapus, who made his debut in 1968 alongside the launch of one of comics' most beloved Gaulish adventures, in a first issue that collectors rightly flag as a key. Published under the Egmont Ehapa banner across an impressive span stretching all the way to 2024, he's a figure rooted in the Silver Age yet with genuine staying power, appearing across both the main Asterix series and the wonderfully eccentric Asterix Mundart dialect editions. His pages are lively ones — shared with towering personalities like Obelix, the formidable Julius Cäsar, and the likes of Caligula Minus and Armamix. Ten appearances may be a modest count, but in a world this richly populated, every recurring face has a story worth chasing down.
