Astérix

Asterix (French: Astérix) is a fictional character the titular hero of the French comic book series The Adventures of Asterix. The series portrays him as a diminutive but fearless Gaulish warrior living in the time of Julius Caesar's Gallic Wars. Asterix was created in 1959 by writer René Goscinny and illustrator Albert Uderzo. Since then, thirty-five books in the series have been released, with Uderzo taking over writing duties after the death of Goscinny in 1977. Asterix has also appeared in several animated and live-action film adaptations of the series, and serves as the mascot of the amusement park Parc Astérix. Before that he was also the mascot of the magazine Pilote. In live-action films, the character was portrayed by Christian Clavier in Asterix & Obelix Take On Caesar and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, by Clovis Cornillac in Asterix at the Olympic Games, and by Édouard Baer in Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia. The animated character has been voiced by British comedy actors Bill Oddie and Craig Charles and in an American dubbing by Henry Winkler, as well as that character voiced from 1990 to 1992 by British Voice artist Richard Pearce.
