Asterix, or Astérix, is the worldfamous Gaulish hero, brought into the (comic) world in 1959 by René Goscinny (1926–1977) and Albert Uderzo (1927–2020) in France.

The adventures of Asterix have been translated into far more than 100 languages and dialects. Ils sont fous, ces traducteurs!

A full list of books published you will find – for more than 25 years now – at the friends' website of asterix-obelix.nl.

On these pages I collect information, bits and pieces, with regard to the global, international, linguistic, multi-language aspects of Asterix.
