Asterix

Asterix is a popular French comic book series created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, first published in 1959. It follows the adventures of Asterix, a small but courageous Gaul, and his friend Obelix as they resist Roman occupation in 50 BC. The stories blend humor, action, and historical references, featuring quirky characters and clever wordplay. Asterix's strength comes from a magic potion brewed by their druid, Getafix. The series has been translated into numerous languages, adapted into animated films, and remains a significant part of French culture and comic history.
