Stenograf

A minor but memorable face in the beloved Asterix universe, Stenograf made their debut in 1971's Asterix #9 under the creative stewardship of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, stepping onto the Bronze Age comics scene via Egmont Ehapa's German-language editions. Across a surprisingly long publishing span stretching into the late 1990s, this character pops up in both Asterix and the delightful dialect-driven Asterix Mundart series, keeping lively company with the likes of Grautvornix, Paragraf, and Rohrpostix. With one key-issue appearance to their name, Stenograf is a collector's little discovery — the kind of background gem that rewards the dedicated fan who digs deeper into the rich, sprawling world of Asterix's German editions.
