Albert Uderzo, co-creator and illustrator of the 'Asterix and Obelix' comics, passed away at the age of 92, his family said on Tuesday. "Uderzo died in his sleep at his home...after a heart attack that was not linked to the coronavirus,", his son-in-law Bernard de Choisy said. Uderzo and author René Goscinny created Asterix in 1959.
