asterix

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'graphic warrior' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'bloomer getting one wrong' is the wordplay.
'bloomer' becomes 'aster' (aster is a kind of flowering plant).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'wrong' becomes 'x' (X is used to mark something as incorrect).
'aster'+'i'+'x'='ASTERIX'

'makes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asterix that I've seen before include "A Gaul, fought Romans (Goscinny)" , "French cartoon character" , "Cartoon book Gaul" , "Gallic hero" .)
