Albert Uderzo

Born in Fismes, Marne, France on April 25, 1927 — died March 24, 2020 (aged 92)

Alberto Aleandro Uderzo (25 April 1927 – 24 March 2020), better known as Albert Uderzo, was a French comic book artist, and scriptwriter. He is best known for his work on the Astérix series, but also drew other comics such as Oumpah-pah, also in collaboration with René Goscinny.  After Goscinny's death in 1977, Uderzo continued to write and illustrate the books on his own, though at a significantly slower pace (averaging one album every three to five years compared to two albums a year when working with Goscinny). The cover credits still read "Goscinny and Uderzo".
