Asterix Merchandise – the Gallic Village on Your Shelf
Since October 29, 1959, a small Gallic village has stood unbeaten against the Romans: Asterix, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, ranks among the world's most successful comics with roughly 370 million albums sold in more than 100 languages. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed collectibles to match – from money boxes in magic-potion style to a large Dogmatix figure.
What makes Asterix stand out?
The wit with which Goscinny and Uderzo combined historical references, wordplay, and lovingly exaggerated characters – from magic-potion brewer Getafix to tone-deaf bard Cacofonix to the dog Dogmatix. The two creators are said to have designed almost all the village's characters in just a quarter of an hour. This mix of situational comedy, memorable characters, and European history still makes Asterix a comic that appeals across generations today.
