Methusalix

Methusalix is an ancient, extraordinarily old Gaul residing in the village of Chief Vitalstatistix. A recurring background character in the Asterix series, he is notable chiefly for his remarkable age, serving as a humorous fixture of the indomitable Gaulish community.

Methusalix is a Bronze Age creation who first stepped onto the page in 1971, brought to life by the legendary team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, and has since accumulated an impressive 102 catalog appearances across a publishing span that stretches all the way to 2026 — a testament to enduring appeal. Most at home in the pages of Asterix Mundart and Asterix, this Egmont Ehapa character keeps lively company with the likes of Gutemine, Verleihnix, and Rotbart, rubbing shoulders with the colorful personalities that make the Asterix universe so irresistible. With two key issues to their name, Methusalix is more than a background fixture — they're a genuine piece of comics history worth seeking out on any collector's shelf.
