René Goscinny was a French cartoonist, famed for cocreating the comic Astérix le Gaulois. Goscinny was born in Paris and moved with his family to Argentina at a young age, obtaining a degree in fine arts before moving to New York to find work as an illustrator. Returning to Paris, Goscinny was introduced to comic artist Albert Uderzo, with whom he founded the humor magazine Pilote in 1959. Astérix debuted in the first issue and quickly gained widespread popularity. Goscinny also wrote for numerous other French comic strips. In 1967, he was made a Chevalier of Arts and Letters for his contributions to French culture.
