He created the famous stories - about the adventures of Gaulish warriors fighting the Roman Empire - with his friend René Goscinny in 1959. As well as illustrating the series, Urderzo took over the writing following Goscinny's death in 1977.
The books have sold 370 million copies worldwide, in dozens of languages, and several stories have been turned into cartoons and feature films.
