Albert Uderzo: Asterix co-creator and illustrator dies aged 92

Albert Uderzo, who drew the Asterix comic books, has died at the age of 92.
The books, about the adventures of Gaulish warriors fighting against the Roman Empire, first appeared in the Franco-Belgian magazine Pilote in 1959.
Urderzo took over the writing following the death of his friend and original author René Goscinny in 1977.
The series continues to this day under new ownership, with the most recent book, Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter, released last October.
"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 told the AFP news agency.

In 2011, the Italian-born illustrator handed over the reins to a younger artist after 52 years drawing the famous comic book hero.
A few years later, Uderzo ended a seven-year legal battle with his daughter Sylvie - amicably - about the family estate.
A signed original illustration for an early Asterix comic book cover sold for more than 1.4m Euros (£1.25m) at a Paris auction in 2017.
On a recent edition of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, screenwriter Russell T Davies chose to take "the finest book ever made", Asterix and the Roman Agent, to the fictional island.

Dominique de Villepin was then France’s foreign minister, and what marked minds was not only his uncompromising anti-war message, but the way he uttered it: his speech was a magnificent rhetorical appeal to values and ideals. In a deep, silky tone, he spoke for an “old country” that has known war and barbarity but has “never ceased to stand upright in the face of history and before mankind”. As the “guardians of an ideal, the guardians of a conscience”, the UN, like France, he declared, had a duty to plead for disarmament by peaceful means. There was something quintessentially French about this speech, argues Sudhir Hazareesingh, a professor of politics at Oxford University, who opens his impressive new book with the scene. What is it about the French, he asks, that makes them think and speak like this? http://econ.st/1LbEBtB

Albert Uderzo, the 87-year-old creator of the well-loved French comic series Asterix, has come out of retirement to draw a new cartoon to show solidarity with the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack this week.
