About the author

Morris

674 books131 followers
The Belgian author Morris (full name Maurice de Bevere) is best known for his humorous cowboy character, Lucky Luke. Morris started his career in 1945 in Le Moustique, creating various covers and illustrations. By the end of the 1940s, Morris met his colleagues Jijé, Franquin and Will. These four artists would be called "The Gang of 4", because they all worked in Jijé's studio at that time. The first episode of Lucky Luke, 'Arizona 1880', was published in L'Almanach Spirou 1947, and was later continued in Spirou. In his early 'Lucky Luke' comics, Morris was greatly inspired by animated cartoons à la Disney.
In 1949, Jijé took Morris and Franquin to the US, where Morris met Jack Davis and Harvey Kurtzman, whom he helped with their plans for Mad Magazine. He also met René Goscinny in the US. In 1955, Morris returned to Europe and collaborated with René Goscinny on 'Lucky Luke'. Goscinny wrote the scenarios of over 35 stories, which led to the great success of the series.
'Lucky Luke' is one of the best-sellers i

This was the oldest Lucky Luke I did read as a kid - and I still like it as one of the best. He's actually established as a real badass here, in some ways more so than in the later books - and yet he has the sense of humour to play along when everyone else has a laugh at his expense.

Lucky Luke has been on my list to read for years now and it's finally the time to clear them off. I'll be adjusting my tally of my reading list to absorb all these as there quite small. These are all quite fun to read and are harmless. Granted these books aren't full storylines, it's no easy task creating a library of storylines, that have engaged audiences over time. This very first book I have read is not number 1, but it's a little hard to get from the library as there all on order and only come in at different times.

Why the 5?

This two part storyline was fun to read and even though it's number 40 something on the list, no earlier prep was required. It will be interesting to see how the earlier books read, as these are quite good. Maybe time helps, but maybe the earlier books are better. Time will tell.

'Lucky Luke tegen Pat Poker' is het eerste van een viertal albums van twee verhalen elk. In beide verhalen in dit album, 'Schoonmaak in Red-City' en 'Alarm in Tumbleweed', moet Lucky Luke het tegen de valsspeler Pat Poker opnemen. Het eerste waarin Lucky Luke een tijdlang door het leven gaat als het broekie 'halfwat' is het beste, al zou Morris' hilarische passage om te laten zien hoe stoer Lucky Luke wel niet is (hij rookt en drinkt daarin zich een ongeluk) nu echt niet meer kunnen. Ook in het tweede verhaal, waarin Lucky Luke naast Pat Poker ook met ene Babyface moet afrekenen, is Morris in prima vorm. Met dit album heeft hij dan ook eindelijk zijn eigen draai helemaal gevonden.

Na dzielnego kowboja przemierzającego niebezpieczne tereny Dzikiego Zachodu, czeka właśnie nowe wyzwanie. Luke decyduje się objąć posadę szeryfa w Red City. Miejscu, w którym stróżowie prawa mają pełne ręce roboty i dość często kończą oni niezbyt dobrze. Już samo dostanie się do tego miasteczka, nastręcza bohaterowi sporo problemów. Później będzie tylko gorzej i bardziej widowiskowo. Okoliczni bandyci na czele ze swoim szefem, którym jest tytułowy Pat Poker, nie mają bowiem zamiaru podporządkować się nowej władzy. Nie wiedzą oni jednak, że tym razem przyjdzie im się zmierzyć z kimś więcej niż tylko kolejnym zwykłym „szeryfem”.

Ponowne spotkanie przywódcy bandytów i LL następuje w drugiej dostępnej tutaj historii zatytułowanej Zamieszanie w Tumbleweed. Luke trafia w niej do pewnego miasteczka zarządzanego przez znanego rewolwerowca. Niedługo później na miejscu pojawia się Pat Poker, który zawiązuje sojusz przeciwko Lukowi. Kolejny jednak raz nie docenia on szybkości kowboja, który już wielokrotnie wychodził obronną ręką z całej masy poważnych kłopotów.

Dostępne tutaj historie powstały pierwotnie na początku lat 50-tych. Jest to dość mocno widoczne w ich pewnej surowości i oferowanym klimacie. Mamy tutaj do czynienia z początkami serii, która dopiero szukała swojego właściwego stylu/formy. Morris serwuje czytelnikowi tylko i aż przyjemną w odbiorze dawkę komiksowego westernu gdzie lekki humor przeplata się ze scenami akcji. Czyli dokładnie tym, czego oczekiwał czytelnik w tamtym okresie. Nie znajdziemy więc tutaj typowej dla późniejszych odsłon warstwy edukacyjnej czy prób nakreślenia głębszej fabuły. Nie zmienia to jednak faktu, że pomimo swojej „prostoty” komiks czyta się bardzo przyjemnie i zapewnia on należytą dawkę rozrywki. Dla największych fanów cyklu tytuł może stanowić również bardzo ciekawe studium rozwoju marki (zarówno pod kątem fabuły, jak i rysunków).

This is probably the first Lucky Luke adventure that is actually good. Morris seems to have imporved his story telling by that time (still no match compared to the Goscinny era of course). No wonder Pat Poker became one of the top Lucky Luke villains.

Nämä varhaiset Lucky Luket ovat kyllä simppeleitä ja tylsiä.

Dva příběhy, ve kterých se Lucky Luke utkává s hazardním hráčem Patem Pokerem. Příběh odsýpá a kresba je fajn.

Another early outing for Lucky Luke in this pre-Goscinny collection of two tales involving the despicable Pat Poker, a card sharp and all-round dirty cheater. Luke first stumbles upon him after taking a job as a town’s sheriff, but having been robbed of his clothes, guns and Jolly Jumper before he arrives in town, Luke is rescued by a well-meaning woman who dresses him in her young son’s outfit. This means that when Luke does finally arrive, he looks the very opposite of a hardened lawman and every bit the greenhorn buffoon the town’s people paint him as.

Fortunately, looks can be deceiving, and Luke plays this to his advantage, eventually catching them on the hoof and bringing Pat Poker to justice.

By the second tale Luke arrives in a shady little town of whittlers and bumps into a rough character dead-set on hanging a shepherd (they don’t like sheep in these parts) to which Luke naturally steps in and saves. Unbeknownst to all, though, Pat Poker has card-sharped his way out of prison and stumbles into the very same town. The rough and the cheat then realise their destinies are intwined in the despatching of Lucky Luke and so team up to do just that, which makes for a rather neat little play in the Pat Poker’s room over the saloon where he’s invited Luke to play cards.

This is a slightly different Luke to the his later books. He still smokes, he swigs whiskey rather than milk, and he shoots villain’s dead rather than the ol’ shoot their weapon’s from the palm of their hands. He even doesn’t mind a bit of animal cruelty, having enlisted the aid of a skunk to scatter a crowd set on a hanging he later shoots dead the same skunk to show off what a good shot he is. But this was written for a different audience at a different time, and it would be foolish to tamper with it to take into account modern sensibilities. Both stories successfully evoke the spirit of the western adventures of cinema and TV with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

So all-in-all two solid little stories, displaying all the hallmarks of fun, humour and adventure that has made this character and this series so successful and long-lived.

L'un de nous est de trop dans ce patelin
Sein erster großer Villain: Pat Poker betritt die Bühne. Sowohl in "Nettoyage à Red City" als auch in der zweiten Geschichte des Bands, "Tumulte à Tumbleweed", muss Lucky Luke gegen diesen üblen Charakter antreten. Die Idee beider Geschichten ist gleich - Lucky Luke spielt den Dorfdeppen, und sowohl die Dorfbewohner als auch die Bösewichter erkennen erst spät den klugen, geschickten Revolverhelden, der sich hinter diesem scheinbar so harmlosen Kerl verbirgt...

Klar ist nun der Charakter Lucky Luke erkennbar, wie wir ihn kennen und schätzen, und auch die Zeichnungen haben nun deutliche Ansätze des Strichs, der Morris so unverkennbar macht. Ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht zu den Vorgängerbänden.

Pembersihan di Red-City

Lucky Luke mendapat tugas untuk menjadi sherif di Red-City, sebuah kota yang sangat terpencil.Belum lagi tiba di tempat tujuannya, Luke kehilangan Jolly Jumper, kudanya dan seluruh pakaiannya ketika ia sedang di sebuah sungai. Beruntung ada sebuah kereta kuda yang lewat dan seorang wanita baik hati yang memberikan pakaian anaknya pada Luke. Jadilah Luke tampil sebagai seorang anak manis, alih-alih sebagai koboi.

Ternyata kedatangan Luke sudah ditunggu oleh para bandit penguasa Red-City yang dipimpin oleh Pat Poker

Premier aventure grand format du cow-boy solitaire !

Agréable histoire, quoique certains passages soient un peu trop prévisibles voire pénibles. Heureusement, noyés dans la masse, ces rares défauts ne nuisent pas à la qualité de l'album.

Lucky Luke is the sexiest cowboy, ever! I was fangirling over him for so many years, and well until forever. Hahaha
