Comic about the funny and brave Asterix, who came up with the writer Rena Gosinny and the artist Alber Holder, lived on the pages of the Franco-Belgian magazine "Pilot" without a fat man of Obelix. However, the character image was already invented.
In 1959, at the first sketches of the artist, a huge and strong Gallic warrior named Asterix appeared, but such an appearance did not suit Gosinny. The publisher saw the chief hero of Hilh and small, whose strength is in the mind and smelting. The quest also believed that graphic novels still need traditional war guili, who would inspire fear with their impressive sizes. Obelix decided to leave both companion, assistant and friend asterix. Together, the heroes appeared only in 1961 in the first independent collection of comics "Asterix from Gala".
