The son of Italian immigrants, he is best known for co-creating perhaps the most popular FrancoBelgianComics character and series of all time (give or take ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}''), the little Iron Age Gaulish warrior ''Franchise/{{Asterix}}'', with writer Creator/ReneGoscinny. He only drew the albums until Goscinny's death in 1977, and assumed both drawing and writing duties from 1977 to 2009.

* DependingOnTheWriter: When Goscinny was writing ''Asterix'', he kept the hero himself as a fairly bland StandardizedLeader IdealHero character who was almost never wrong about anything, and gave the CharacterDevelopment to [[TheLancer Obelix]], who was a sweet, profound and adorably [[TheDreaded frightening]] take on a ManChild. When Uderzo took over, Asterix got a lot of CharacterDevelopment and became more complicated and sympathetic, developed weaknesses and was no longer infallible, but at the same time Obelix was severely {{flanderized}} into being significantly more stupid and selfish, and usually TheMillstone to boot. This is most noticeable in ''The Magic Carpet'', where Asterix almost fails on multiple occasions because he has to constantly babysit Obelix. On the bright side, Uderzo introduced a lot more memorable female characters than Goscinny managed to do (Bravura, Melodrama, Orinjade, Latraviata...) and fleshed out some of Goscinny's SpearCarrier and SatelliteLoveInterest female characters (like Fulliautomatix's wife and daughter, and Obelix's perennial love interest Panacea) into more well-rounded human beings.
