Rotbart
Rotbart made their comics debut in 1969's Asterix #2, stepping into one of the most beloved and enduring series in European comics history — a Silver Age entry into the world of Gaulish village life published by Egmont Ehapa. Over a remarkable span stretching more than five decades and into 2026, Rotbart has accumulated 117 catalog appearances, primarily across Asterix and the delightful dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart editions, with two of those appearances earning key-issue recognition among collectors. Sharing pages with luminaries like Miraculix, Julius Cäsar, and Gutemine, this character is woven into the rich, comedic tapestry of one of comics' great franchises — and with that kind of longevity and company, Rotbart is absolutely worth a closer look for any serious Asterix enthusiast.
