Troubadix

Troubadix is the self-proclaimed bard of Asterix's small Gaulish village, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. Supremely confident in his musical talents, he is nonetheless considered a menace by his fellow villagers, whose greatest dread is being subjected to his notoriously terrible singing.

Born from the brilliant creative partnership of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo in 1967, Troubadix has been delighting readers for nearly six decades — a Silver Age original with genuine staying power. With 179 catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2026, this Asterix universe fixture has proven remarkably enduring, sharing adventures alongside beloved characters like Miraculix, Idefix, and Julius Cäsar across Egmont Ehapa's iconic pages. Six of those appearances carry key-issue status, marking Troubadix as a collector-worthy presence in any serious Asterix library. Whether you're discovering the Asterix Mundart dialect editions or diving into the classic run, Troubadix is a character whose long, lively history in European comics makes them absolutely worth seeking out.
