Details: About the Author and Other Contributors Albert Uderzo, born in 1927, became an assistant cartoonist in a Parisian publishing house in 1941. In 1945, he assisted in the production of an animated film for the first time, and a year later, he drew his first comic strips, became a scriptwriter, and soon created self-contained drawing series. During this time, he created "Belloy, Ritter ohne Rüstung" (Belloy, Knight Without Armor) (for OK magazine) and "Verbrechen lohnt sich nicht" (Crime Does Not Pay) (for France-Soir newspaper), among others. Uderzo became an employee of a Belgian agency in Paris, where he met Jean-Michel Charlier and René Goscinny in 1951. With Charlier, Uderzo created "Belloy," "Tanguy," and "Laverdure," and with Goscinny, they initially created "Pitt Pistol" and "Der unglaubliche Korsar" (The Incredible Corsair), followed by "Luc Junior" (for La Libre Belgique), "Benjamin und Benjamine" (for "Top Magazin"), and "Umpah-Pah" (for "Tintin"). In 1959, Uderzo and Goscinny founded their own magazine, called "Pilot." The culmination was "Asterix der Gallier" (Asterix the Gaul). René Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926. He grew up in Buenos Aires, and after graduating from high school, he first worked as an assistant bookkeeper and later as a cartoonist in an advertising agency. In 1945, Goscinny immigrated to New York. In 1946, he had to return to France to complete his military service. Back in the USA, he worked again as a cartoonist, then as an art director for a children's book publisher. During a trip to France, Goscinny was hired by a Franco-Belgian press agency, which sent him twice to New York as a correspondent. He gave up drawing and started writing. He created many humorous articles, books, and screenplays for comics. Among others, he wrote: "Der kleine Nick" (Little Nicolas) (with Sempé), "Lucky Luke" (for Morris), "Isnogud" (with Tabary), "Umpah-Pah," and "Asterix" (with Uderzo). Goscinny was married and had a daughter. He died on November 5, 1977.
