Épidemais

Épidemais is a minor character in the classic Goscinny and Uderzo Franco-Belgian comic series Astérix, set in ancient Gaul. He appears among the colorful cast of villagers and historical figures populating the irreverent adventures of Astérix and his indomitable Gaulish companions.

A minor player with a memorable name, Épidemais stepped onto the page in 1964 courtesy of the legendary duo René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, earning a small but enduring place in the beloved Astérix universe published by Éditions Albert René. Debuting in the Silver Age, this character has kept extraordinary company across the decades — sharing panels with the likes of Panoramix, Obélix, Assurancetourix, Abraracourcix, and even Jules César himself. With a presence in the catalog stretching all the way to 2025, Épidemais is a testament to just how richly populated that irreducible Gaulish world truly is — proof that even a supporting figure in one of comics' most cherished franchises carries real charm and staying power.
