Details: About the Author and Other Contributors Rene 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 accountant and later as an illustrator in an advertising agency. In 1945, Goscinny emigrated to New York. In 1946, he had to return to France to complete his military service. Back in the USA, he worked again as an illustrator, then as an artistic director for a children's book publisher. During a trip to France, Goscinny was hired by a Franco-Belgian press agency, which sent him to New York twice as a correspondent. He gave up drawing and started writing. He created many humorous articles, books, and scripts for comics. Among others, he wrote: "Le Petit Nicolas" (with Sempe), "Lucky Luke" (for Morris), "Iznogoud" (with Tabary), "Oumpah-Pah" and "Asterix" (with Uderzo). Goscinny was married and had one daughter. He died on November 5, 1977. Albert Uderzo, born in 1927, became an assistant illustrator at a Parisian publishing house in 1941. In 1945, he first helped produce an animated film, and a year later he drew his first comic strips, became a scriptwriter, and soon also created self-contained series of drawings. During this time, he created, among others, "Belloy, Ritter ohne Rüstung" (for the magazine OK) and "Verbrechen lohnt sich nicht" (for the newspaper France-Soir). Uderzo became an employee of a Belgian agency in Paris, where he met Jean-Michel Charlier and Rene Goscinny in 1951. With Charlier, Uderzo created "Belloy," "Tanguy," and "Laverdure," and with Goscinny, he first created "Pitt Pistol" and "Der unglaubliche Korsar," followed by "Luc Junior" (for La Libre Belgique), "Benjamin und Benjamine" (for "Top Magazin"), and "Oumpah-Pah" (for "Tintin"). In 1959, Uderzo and Goscinny founded their own magazine, called "Pilot." The crowning achievement was "Asterix the Gaul."
