Albert Uderzo (Fismes, France, April 25, 1927 – Neuilly-sur-Seine, March 24, 2020) was a French cartoonist and scriptwriter of Italian origin, world-famous as the co-creator of Asterix the Gaul alongside scriptwriter René Goscinny. From a young age, Uderzo showed exceptional talent for drawing and forged his career in French children's magazines, captivating with characters and panels full of humor and wit. The son of Italian immigrants, his childhood was marked by effort and creativity, as well as an early fascination with Walt Disney's heroes.

In 1959, together with Goscinny, he brought to life the indomitable Gauls Asterix and Obelix in the magazine Pilote, characters who, thanks to their social critique and historical references, won over readers of all ages. The Asterix series, turned into a European comic icon, was translated into dozens of languages, sold hundreds of millions of copies, and was adapted for both cinema and television, elevating the comic to the status of a global cultural phenomenon.

After Goscinny's death in 1977, Uderzo continued the saga as the sole author until his retirement in 2009, establishing himself as an undisputed reference in the ninth art. His career was recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Legion of Honor in France, the Eisner Award, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Paris. Uderzo's legacy endures through generations, inspiring readers and artists, and reaffirming the value of graphic art as a vehicle for humor, social critique, and universal storytelling.
