Asterix (comic series)

Asterix is a popular French comic series created by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, first published in 1959. It follows the adventures of Asterix, a clever and fearless small Gaulish warrior, and his friend Obelix, who is superhumanly strong thanks to falling into a cauldron of magic potion. Set during Roman rule over Gaul, the stories blend humor and satire to depict the resistance of a small village against Roman conquest. Asterix's cleverness, cultural references, and imaginative plots have made the series a beloved classic worldwide, with numerous comic books, animated films, and adaptations.
