Asterix

In the 1980s, Romanian publisher Record brought the indomitable Gauls to a new audience with a licensed 34-issue run of Asterix comics (1983–2009). Featuring the iconic creations of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, this series compiled classic adventures of the clever warrior and his friends resisting Roman occupation with magic potion and wit. While not the original French editions, Record’s translations made these beloved stories accessible to Romanian readers, preserving the humor and historical satire for a generation. It stands as a significant cultural bridge, introducing Eastern European fans to one of Europe’s most enduring comic franchises.
