Astérix and Obélix Celebrate 65th Anniversary with Museum Grévin Debut

The iconic duo, created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, are honored with wax statues in Paris as their legacy continues to thrive.

Astérix, Obélix, and their dog Idéfix have been immortalized in wax at the Musée Grévin in Paris, marking their 65th anniversary.
The statues, crafted by Stéphane Barret, depict the characters in a forest scene alongside a Roman soldier, reflecting the comic's humorous spirit.
Anne Goscinny and Sylvie Uderzo, daughters of the creators, attended the unveiling, celebrating the enduring appeal of the characters.
The series, first appearing in 1959, has sold nearly 400 million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling comic series globally.
A special edition album, 'Astérix les 40 banquets,' was released in September to support charity, alongside immersive exhibitions in Paris.
