Early life Uderzo was born in Normandy, but his parents had recently moved from Italy. His name comes from the Italian village called Oderzo (formerly called Uderzo), where his family tree can be traced. His childhood ambitions were to become an aircraft mechanic, despite his talents in art at an early age. He was actually born colour-blind with two extra fingers (which were surgically removed).

During WWII, the teen-aged Uderzo left Paris and spent a year in Brittany in the west of France, where he was working on a farm and helped with his father's furniture business.

Working with Goscinny Throughout some more creations and travelling for the next few years, he eventually met René Goscinny in 1951. The pair became good friends very soon, and decided to work together in 1952 at the newly opened Paris office of the Belgian company, World Press. Their first creation was Jehan Pistolet. In 1958 they began work on Oumpah-pah (until 1962), as well as a few other series.

Asterix was presented as a serial in Pilote, but in 1961 the duo published the first album, Asterix the Gaul, as an individual album.

Ever since Goscinny's tragic death in 1977, Uderzo has been writing and illustrating the books on his own, at a much slower pace (about one album every 3-5 years now, compared to 2 albums per year when working with Goscinny). The main credit on the cover still says "Goscinny and Uderzo". Pilote was a French cartoon periodical published from 1959 to 1989. ...
