Fabrice Caro (born 10 August 1973), commonly known by his pen name Fabcaro, is a French novelist, comic book writer, and musician.
Caro was born in Montpellier in 1973, the son of a cook and a cashier. After originally being educated as a physicist, he switched to teaching by enrolling in an IUFM, but then became a cartoonist and comic book writer in 1996, working for a variety of comics magazines. He participated in the work of several writing collectives, such as 6 Pieds sous terre and La Cafetière, and wrote, among others, the novel Figurec and the comic strip Zaï Zaï Zaï Zaï. He became well known for his absurdist humor.
On December 20, 2022, it was announced that he would take over as the writer of the popular Asterix comic books from Jean-Yves Ferri, his first album being Asterix and the White Iris , released on 26 October 2023. [1] His second album is set to be released on 23 October 2025. [2]
In addition to his comic book career, Fabcaro is also a musician. In 1994, he founded the rock group Hari Om and released two solo albums, Les Amants de la rue Sinistrose (1999) and Shhherpa (2014).
Asterix is a French comic album series about a Gaulish village which, thanks to a magic potion that enhances strength, resists the forces of Julius Caesar's Roman Republic Army in a nonhistorical telling of the time after the Gallic Wars. Many adventures take the titular hero Asterix and his friend Obelix to Rome and beyond.
René Goscinny was a French comic editor and writer, who created the Astérix comic book series with illustrator Albert Uderzo. He was raised primarily in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he attended French schools, and he lived in the United States for a short period of time. There he met Belgian cartoonist Morris. After his return to France, they collaborated for more than 20 years on the comic series Lucky Luke.
Alberto Aleandro Uderzo, better known as Albert Uderzo, was a French comic book artist and scriptwriter. He is best known as the co-creator and illustrator of the Astérix series in collaboration with René Goscinny. He also drew other comics such as Oumpah-pah, again with Goscinny. Uderzo retired in September 2011.
Daniel Gillespie Clowes is an American cartoonist, graphic novelist, illustrator, and screenwriter. Most of Clowes's work first appeared in Eightball, a solo anthology comic book series. An Eightball issue typically contained several short pieces and a chapter of a longer narrative that was later collected and published as a graphic novel, such as Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron (1993), Ghost World (1997), David Boring (2000) and Patience (2016). Clowes's illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, Newsweek, Vogue, The Village Voice, and elsewhere. With filmmaker Terry Zwigoff, Clowes adapted Ghost World into a 2001 film and another Eightball story into the 2006 film, Art School Confidential. Clowes's comics, graphic novels, and films have received numerous awards, including a Pen Award for Outstanding Work in Graphic Literature, over a dozen Harvey and Eisner Awards, and an Academy Award nomination.
Asterix the Gaul is a French comic book story, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, and published by Dargaud. The comic was first published as a serial for Pilote magazine in October 1959. The story focuses on a Gaul named Asterix, who is forced to rescue his village's druid from a Roman garrison, all while preventing them from gaining access to a magic potion that grants its drinker superhuman strength.
Asterix and the Big Fight is a French comic book story, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, and published by Dargaud. It is the seventh story in the Asterix comic book series, and was originally published as a serial for Pilote magazine in 1964. The story focuses on Asterix and Obelix attempting to get their village's druid cured from several conditions following an accident, all while their chief prepares to do battle with a rival chief allied to the Romans.
Asterix and the Golden Sickle is a French comic book story, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo, and published by Dargaud.

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is a 1976 English/French animated feature film based on the Asterix comic book series, and the third in the animated franchise. René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the creators of the series, wrote the story and directed the film themselves; with co-direction by Pierre Watrin and the screenplay co-written by Pierre Tchernia, a friend of Goscinny and Uderzo. The film was directed, produced and animated at Goscinny and Uderzo's own animation studio, Studios Idéfix, and is the only Asterix animated film that used xerography, instead of traditional inkers. At the time of its release, the film received mixed reviews since its tone is more cartoony and frequently breaks the fourth wall. Nowadays, its reception is more favourable, with it often being cited as one of the best Astérix films, even reaching the status of a cult classic.
Asterix and the Falling Sky is the thirty-second volume of the Asterix comic book series, the ninth solely written and illustrated by Albert Uderzo and the only volume to introduce science fiction elements into the otherwise historical comedy series. The book was intended as a tribute to Walt Disney and a satire on the state of the French comics industry. It was released on October 14, 2005 to commercial success, but was panned by the critics. This was the final volume produced by Uderzo before handing over the series to a new creative team.
