He is helped in his adventures by Getafix, the druid of the village who holds the secret of a Super Strength-inducing potion, and most importantly his best friend Obelix, a menhir carver who fell in a cauldron of the aforementioned potion when he was a child, making the effects permanent on him. Said village is the home of Astérix, who frequently goes on all kinds of adventures, often in order to foil the plans of the Romans. One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. The series' growing success in Pilote got it published into albums soon after. Astérix is a character created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo in 1959 for the French comic magazine Pilote.
