Alberto Uderzo (1927-) Dedicasse Asterix
Drawn with a marker, ca. 1983. 30 x 20,5 cm.
The popularity of Asterix, as comic, cartoon and later film with its worldwide success, gave Uderzo a celebrity status. Fairs with signing sessions have been a thing of the past for decades now. After Goscinny's death, Uderzo did not sign as often as he used to, after the 1980s he almost completely stopped doing that.
