Rhetorik

A resident of the beloved Asterix universe, Rhetorik made their debut in 1970's Asterix #7, brought to life by the legendary creative team of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo — with German-language editions shaped by translator Gudrun Penndorf for Egmont Ehapa. Part of the Silver Age's rich tradition of European comics storytelling, Rhetorik inhabits a world populated by wonderfully named characters like Strategus, Historik, and Lyrik, that signature Asterix wordplay very much intact. Their appearances span an impressive 27 years across Asterix and the dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart series, making them a small but enduring thread in one of comics' most cherished and witty tapestries — a charming find for any collector diving deep into the Gaulish village's extended cast.
