Big surprise for the Lonesome Cowboy: a rich widow and admirer of his exploits has bequeathed him a 250 acre cotton plantation in Louisiana! Thrust into the role of a rich landowner, welcomed as one by his white neighbours, he will have to fight to gain the trust of his terrified black employees and split his heritage among them. A goal towards which he'll receive help from the local Cajun community, and from... the Daltons!
Jul began his professional life as a teacher of Chinese history in university, but soon became a political cartoonist for various newspaper, including Charlie Hebdo. In 2005 he published his first graphic novel, and in 2009 created Silex in the City, a huge hit that was made into a cartoon for Franco-German TV channel Arte. Achd began drawing comics at age three and has never stopped. Creator of such series as CRS=dtresse and Woker (with Widenlocher), he eventually fulfilled a childhood dream when he was asked to take over as artist for Lucky Luke.
