Asterix was a major part of my childhood and I still have all of them. The humour of those books is still priceless. Albert Uderzo gave us all a great gift. RIP.

So sad.

When I was very young, about 8 or 9, I came across two Asterix books in a tourist shop in Southport. I could only afford one, which I bought, and then (I'm ashamed to admit) I stole the other. It's the only book I ever pinched - and got a good hiding for it when I got home. It didn't dampen my love for Asterix, though, a love which has only grown over the years. Goscinny and Uderzo were the first comic creators whose names I learned and Asterix was the first comic I fell in love with.

R.I.P.

Wow. Another part of my childhood gone. On the plus side, I just bought an omnibus of the first three Asterix books for my son's 10th birthday on Monday.

Don't be daft. Of course I will give it to him. Just like the 13th Floor Collected edition he got from Santa. The fact that he has a bedroom bookcase circa 90cm from the bathroom door is pure coincidence.

Asterix was brilliant!

Maybe as a tribute Rebellion could reprint in the floppy the spoof Asterix strip that appeared in one of the Crisis specials.

Stuart Gordon of various Horror movies fame has died. Rotten news about Uderzo's passing as well.

Albert Uderzo one of the all time greatest comic artist and that's not hyperbole at all, just an artistic genius.

A rather timely and fitting tribute to the great Albert Uderzo, I believe.

That's sad news - he was the ultimate Lovecraftian director. Dagon, From Beyond, and, of course, Re-animator are all classics.

He was also the director of Robot Jox, which I watched once and thought was alright.

Not seen it but I have heard it's very 2000AD in tone (from the late seventies, early eighties.

RIP Bill Rieflin drummer with Ministry, NIN, and KMFDM (amongst so many other great bands).  Fuck this year.
