Ompa-Pa

From 1977 to 1978, Egmont/Methuen published this five-issue comic series starring Ompa-Pa, a red-skinned, peace-loving Native American warrior navigating the absurdities of the Wild West. Written by Nicholas Fry and René Goscinny, with art by Albert Uderzo, the strip blends the creators' signature satirical humor with Uderzo's lively, expressive linework. Though short-lived, the series is a charming, lesser-known collaboration from the team behind Asterix, offering a playful twist on frontier tropes.
