Asterix and Obelix co-creator and illustrator Albert Uderzo dies in his sleep at age 92
"Albert Uderzo died in his sleep at his home in Neuilly after a heart attack that was not linked to the coronavirus," his son-in-law Bernard de Choisy said.
Uderzo created Asterix in 1959 with the fellow Frenchman and writer Rene Goscinny, who brought them to life in the French-Belgian comics magazine Pilote. Both men are considered founding fathers of modern comics and graphic novels, with 380 million of their books sold worldwide, and several stories turned into animated cartoons and feature films.
"Making a living through comics was extremely hard in those days, I drew an astronomical amount of pages just to get through the month," he would recall.
