About The Book
René Goscinny was born in Paris in 1926. He grew up in Buenos Aires and after graduating from high school he worked first as an assistant accountant and later as a draftsman in an advertising agency.
In 1945 Goscinny emigrated to New York. In 1946 he had to go to France to do his military service. Back in the USA he worked again as a draftsman, then as 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 designed many humorous articles, books and screenplays for comics. Among others he wrote: "Der kleine Nick" (with Sempe), "Lucky Luke" (for Morris), "Isnogud" (with Tabary), "Umpah-Pah"
Goscinny was married and has one daughter. He died on November 5, 1977. Albert Uderzo, born in 1927, became an assistant draftsman in a Paris publishing house in 1941. In 1945 he helped to produce an animated film for the first time, a year later he drew his first comic strips, became a screenwriter and soon also made self-contained cartoon series. During this time, among other things, "Belloy, knight without armor" (for the magazine OK) and "Crime does not pay" (for the newspaper France-Soir) were written. Uderzo worked for a Belgian agency in Paris, where he met Jean-Michel Charlier and Rene Goscinny in 1951. With Charlier Uderzo made "Belloy", "Tanguy" and "Laverdure" and with Goscinny he first made "Pitt Pistol" and "The Incredible Corsair", then followed "Luc Junior" (for La Libre Belgique), "Benjamin und Benjamine" (for "Top Magazin") and "Umpah-Pah" (for "Tintin"). In 1959 Uderzo and Goscinny started their own magazine, which called itself "Pilot". The crowning achievement was "Asterix the Gaul".
