Goscinny, René (1926-1977)
one of the most creative comic writers ever. Known for many famous comic characters (Asterix, Isnogud among others), Goscinny wrote the lyrics for Lucky Luke 4 years before the first release of Asterix. The title was "Railways on the Prairie" and became an immediate success. The collaboration with Morris resulted in 37 adventures of the Western hero and continued uninterrupted until his death.

Born on August 14, 1926 in Paris, René Goscinny spent his childhood in Argentina, between Buenos Aires and La Pampa. After a promising start as an assistant accountant to an accountant in a factory for the recovery of old tires, he entered an advertising agency as an apprentice designer. At 19, he left to conquer America and, more precisely, the Walt Disney studios. Very quickly promoted to unemployment, he never met Walt Disney but stumbled across the band of the future ''Mad'' - Harvey Kurtzman, Jack Davis, Will Elder - and felt much less alone: Anglo-Saxon humor coincided perfectly with his own way of looking at things. He met Morris in New York, Charlier in Brussels and Uderzo in Paris, at the World Press, a small Belgian agency where he ran the Paris office created in 51. The authors of the time being paid with a slingshot, Stakhanovism s imposes: Goscinny, who understood that his talent blossomed more effectively in the script than in the drawing, began work on a host of comic strips (among which Oumpah-pah, Spaghetti and Luc Junior). He types miles of articles and news (for ''Pariscope'' and ''L'Os à moëlle'', among others) and writes the life skills section of ''Bonnes Soirées'' under the pseudonym of Liliane d'Orsay... In 55, he took up the script for Lucky Luke and, in 56, created Le Petit Nicolas with Sempé. It was also in 1956 that an irreversible crash occurred with the World Press: Goscinny, Charlier and Uderzo, eager to promote this profession which was not one, wrote a very sulphurous Charter of Designers, which earned them to meet on the pavement overnight - and blacklisted by all publishers. They stumble upon a certain Jean Hébrard, who has just inherited a huge café on the Place de la Bourse and provides them with the funds necessary for the creation of Edifranche, a small press company. Pilote was born on 29 October 1959 under the joint sponsorship of Edifrance and Radio-Luxembourg. Goscinny shared the chief editorship with Charlier and signed the first episode of the adventures of Asterix with Uderzo. In 62, he created Iznogoud with Tabary. In 65, he invites Gotlib to collaborate with the Dingodossiers. After May 68, he installed the unforgettable news pages in Pilote, and hosted on Europe 1 ''Le Feu de camp du dimanche matin'', with Gébé, Fred and Gotlib. Meanwhile, without the slightest promotion, by word of mouth, the little Gaul experienced an irresistible rise: in 65, the first French satellite was baptized Asterix and, a few years later, the albums were translated into 28 countries, without counting Esperento and Latin, which are not countries, but languages... While the Asterix boom shook comics, making it pass from the status of childhood disease to that of respectable art, Goscinny, who has no equal in recognizing and cultivating talent, makes Pilote a creative laboratory where new comics flourish, with Gotlib, Reiser, Cabu, Bretécher, Mandryka, Druillet, Tardi, Giraud, Mézières, F'Murr, Fred, Bilal, etc. In 1972, after the departure of the Gotlib-Bretécher-Mandryka trio for L'Echo des Savanes, he offered the editor-in-chief of the newspaper to Guy Vidal. In 74, he created Studios Idefix with Uderzo and Georges Dargaud, which gave birth to the Twelve Works of Asterix in 76, while the 23rd album of Asterix was released, with a print run of 1,300,000 copies. Goscinny had a host of projects: publishing, television (despite its ''bankrupt post office atmosphere'') and above all, cinema. Screenwriter of the irresistible Viager, produced in 71 by Pierre Tchernia, he was enthusiastic about this other way of making people laugh, since it was his vocation. But the story ends on November 5, 77, while the Idefix studios team is working on The Ballad of the Daltons, perpetuating its oldest dream: after all, he had gone to America to conquer the Walt Disney studios...
