Albert Uderzo, co-creator/illustrator (and writer after co-founder/writer René Goscinny died in 1977) of Asterix (aka An History of Utopian Gaul in a Pernicious Roman Empire) has died.
Note: of a heart attack unrelated to Covid-19. Yes, ‘normal’ death still exists.

My favourite comic and favourite superheroes bar none. The stories were human and so were the heroes.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Albert Uderzo, the co-creator of Asterix with René Goscinny.

For more than 60 years, Asterix has aroused in millions of readers around the world, page after page, and with each re-reading, a pleasure and a deep joy.
Become a true myth, the little Gaul is today part of the universal literary and artistic heritage, and will continue for a long time to carry its values of tolerance and resistance in its adventures.

Beyond the immense artist that he was, we lose an exceptional man, whom all those who had the chance to meet him cherished.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Albert Uderzo.
