The legendary cowboy returns in this classic volume. He is the ultimate cowboy of the Wild West and the Lucky Luke albums feature such big Wild West personalities as Judge Roy Bean or Calamity Jane and, of course, the famous Dalton brothers, who Morris and Goscinny portray as a hilarious and pitiful quartet, who ceaselessly escape from prison just to be brought back in by Lucky Luke.
The character of Lucky Luke became a myth thanks to Morris (his creator) and Goscinny. These two giants of the 9th art collaborated with passion for more than 20 years until the death of the famous scriptwriter. Goscinny is the author of the well-known Asterix, which he launched with Uderzo. He also co-authored Iznogoud with Tabary. In 1992, Morris received the 'Grand Prix Special 20eme Anniversaire' from the international comics show at Angouleme, and in 1998, the French Minister of Culture decorated him with the rank of 'Officier des Arts et des Lettres'.
