Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo were a French writer/artist team.Born 1925 and 1927 respectively,the two men have - together or separately - worked on many comic strips,but are best known for their series of books featuring the 'indomitable Gaul' Asterix.He made his first appearance in the French magazine,'Pilote',in 1959, and has since featured in well over two dozen books.Goscinny also created the characters Lucky Luke,Ompa-pa,Iznogoud and Nicholas,albeit in collaboration with other artists.He died in 1977.After the death of Goscinny,Uderzo continued the series by himself (1980-2005), writing 8 of his own stories on subjects such as feminism and aliens,with travels to India and Atlantis. UDERZO died 24.03/20 aged 92.
