Marcel Dalton is the Dalton Brothers' Swiss uncle. He is not only honest, but a banker to boot. Having purchased a small bank in the US, he decides to hire his nephews to force them to make a honest living. Although he's assisted by Lucky Luke, they have their work cut out for them. Especially since - as if the ingrained instincts of the four dumbest bandits in the West weren't enough - there's also the small matter of the competition: a very unscrupulous banker indeed.
Born and raised in Belgium, Morrismoved to the United States in 1946 for six years. There, he worked for MAD magazine and met RenGoscinny. After Goscinny's death, several other writers contributed to LuckyLuke, including BobdeGroot, the well-known writer of such very successful humorous series as Robin Dubois, Lonardand Clifton, the latter published in English by Cinebook.
