Asterix the Gaul is a French comic album written by Rene Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, first serialized in Pilote magazine beginning in October 1959 and collected as a standalone album by Dargaud in 1961. It introduces the small Gaulish village that resists Roman occupation through a magic potion brewed by its druid, which grants its warriors superhuman strength, and follows the title character Asterix as he rescues the druid after a Roman commander discovers the potion's source. As the first album in what became one of the best-selling comic series in history, it established the characters, humor and Gaulish-versus-Roman premise that the series would build on for decades, and an English translation followed in 1969.
