Les Aventures de Lucky Luke d'après Morris #5
Auf eigene Faust
Lucky Luke buchtet die Dalton-Brüder mal wieder ein. Kaum im Knast bekommt Joe ein ernsthaftes Autoritätsproblem: seine drei Brüder wollen nicht mehr nach seiner Pfeife tanzen! Also trennt man sich und derjenige, der als erster 1 Millionen Dollar verdient … ähem … ergaunert hat, wird der neue Chef der Dalton-Bande … Die Geschichte stammt aus der Feder von Daniel Pennac und Tonino Benacquista, zwei französischen Bestseller-Autoren und natürlich Achdé, der nach Morris für das unverwechselbare Aussehen der Westernhelden und Schurken verantwortlich zeichnet. Ein sicherer Schuss ins Herz aller Lucky-Luke-Fans!

Viele Hasen sind des Hundes Not
So jedenfalls könnte es wohl Lucky Luke sehen, der schon wieder einmal die berüchtigten Daltons einfangen muß – kurz nachdem er sie hinter Schloß und Riegel gebracht hat. Diesmal allerdings ist es aufgrund eines Bruderzwistes anders als sonst: Da die Daltons Joe die Schuld an ihrem neuerlichen Reinfall geben, beschließen die Brüder, sich zu trennen – beim Ausbruch graben sie denn auch getrennte Tunnel – und von nun an Auf eigene Faust loszuziehen. Wer zuerst eine Million Dollar zusammengebracht hat, der ist der neue Boß der Dalton-Bande!!!
Während Joe beim guten alten Bankraub bleibt, wird William zum Chef eines Spielcasinos, und Jack verschlägt es auf Umwegen in die korrupte Welt der Politik und Hochfinanz. Averell avanciert zum Pizzabäcker – und nebenbei, ohne daß er es weiß, zu einem Mitglied der Mafia. Wen soll Luke nun als ersten wieder einfahren lassen? Diese Frage stellt sich dem Cowboy immer wieder. Doch vor allem muß er die unangenehme Erfahrung machen, daß Verbrechen ab einer bestimmten Stufe unter den Schutz der Mächtigen gestellt ist, denn als er versucht, William, Jack und Averell festzunehmen, finden diese Unterstützung innerhalb ihrer Stadtgemeinschaften, was Luke einmal sogar ins Gefängnis bringt, so daß er selbst außerhalb des Gesetzes agieren muß, um das Gesetz schließlich durchzusetzen. Und Joe lernt währenddessen, wie schnell sich eine Million Dollar auf wundersame Weise vermehrt.
Auf eigene Faust, gezeichnet von Achdé, eigentlich Hervé Darmenton, und getextet von Daniel Pennac und Tonino Benacquista, ist ein sehr originelles Abenteuer, das zeigt, wie man den Daltons immer wieder neue Facetten abgewinnen kann, und das die dem Plot innewohnende Gefahr der Zerfaserung der Geschichte meisterhaft umschifft hat. Auch wird deutlich, daß Achdé ein würdiger zeichnerischer Nachfolger von Morris ist, denn seine Zeichnungen wirken frisch und kraftvoll, ohne sich dabei zu stark vom Original zu entfernen. Alles in allem ist Auf eigene Faust eine gelungene Fortführung der Abenteuer um den Cowboy, der immer ein paar Löcher im Schatten hat.

It's a rare treat to see a modern Lucky Luke story that manages to approach the quality and sense of fun of the golden-age stories - all the more so when they feature the Daltons, which I always thought were overdone. It does something new with them, and shows them as remotely competent once again... though I suspect that this is less because of Joe's poor leadership (he manages just fine without his brothers as well, after all) and more because they manage to confuse and even thwart Luke at the beginning. This is all new for him too, after all.
Just a shame that none of this is allowed to stick: at the end of the album they're all dirt-poor once again, sticking together once again, and fighting once again. In the unlikely event of the contrary, it could well have earned one more star.

De los álbumes realizados tras la muerte de Morris (Y de los que se hicieron en los últimos años de su vida) Este es el que me ha parecido mejor, el guion de Pennac y Benacquista tiene la combinación adecuada de humor y aventuras y consigue manejar bien a los Dalton (cuyas apariciones se me hacían cada vez más cargantes en los últimos años) haciendo que no dejen de ser personajes humorísticos pero a la vez dándoles personalidades interesantes. El dibujo de Achdé no llega a la calidad de los mejores tiempos de Morris pero es correcto y tiene una narración ágil que se ajusta bien al tono de la historia.

My favorite yet from the new creative team.
Great art, perfectly emulating Morris' unique style but also more contemporary, thanks to the modern printing quality.
The gags are there and the story is fresh. Nice to see there are more things to be done with the Daltons.

Van valami különösen izgalmas abban, mi lenne egyes emberekből, ha megszabadulnának predeterminált kereteiktől és új életet kezdenének. Ez a könyv pont erről szólt, vagyis hogyan is viselkednének "kedves" Daltonjaink, ha nem lennének családi kötelékeikbe kényszerítve! :) Ismét egy szökés a börtönből, de Lucky Luke-nak most nincs könnyű dolga kézre keríteni őket. Ő maga is banditává kénytelen állni, hogy leszámoljon velük.
Ezt érzem egy picit a történet logikai bukfencének is, hiszen alapvetően rendkívül szimpatikus ahogy Averell az örökös kajaszenvedélyét kamatoztatva felvirágoztat egy éttermet. A polgármesterség és a kaszinó tulajdonosság már nem ilyen egyértelmű meggazdagodási mód, de azért mégsem Joe bankrabló körútját másolja a 3 másik testvér. Egy szó, mint száz, sosem voltak a Daltonok ennyire szimpatikusak (na jó Joe-ra ez nem vonatkozik), de a vége mégis ismét ugyanaz, indulás vissza a dutyiba. Mindez hatalmas poén-zuhataggal, és a végén egy katartikus deus ex machina Dalton mamával :) Képregény-rajóngóknak kötelező! :)

The "after Morris" tomes are excellent! Artists were picked who knew the art so intimately and the writers must have been devising the plots in their heads for years because they are so well crafted- they seem like they had far more than a year's time put into them!

Daltoni protiv Daltona, Talični protiv svih. Pomalo dvojbenih stavova o pravdi sa puno ritma projahah kroz ovaj zabavni album.

The Dalton Brothers are a recurring theme in Lucky Luke, so the creators have always done well to spin a new tale around them that respects the history of the cartoon strip and adds something new and worthwhile. You want the running gags, but you don’t want a repeat of the previous adventure.
In Lone Riders the four brothers fall out after yet another capture by Luke and it’s decided that the first one to make $1,000,000 will be the new leader. Digging four separate (naturally) escape tunnels, the siblings depart the prison walls for four very different attempts at collating their loot. Joe Dalton goes straight to doing what he knows and does best, holding up banks, William discovers the lure of the casino, Jack eventually stumbles upon politics and Averell ends up being the catalyst in a fast food franchise.
While all this is taking place Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper are hot on their trails, but each time they catch up with one of the brothers the local populace appears to be happy with the new direction of the individual brother's life and would rather see him stay, to the point that they’re all soon making plenty of money and Luke appears to be helpless and hopeless. The only exception is Joe, who is just doing what he’s always done, but still amounting quite a hidden stash of cash.
Luke’s answer to this conundrum is to play them at their own game which has the result, eventually, of setting them one against the other before he can take charge of the situation.
This is one of the newest Lucky Luke books and the creative team of Achdé, Pennac & Benacquista have done a fine job of making it feel like a classic Lucky Luke adventure. It’s beautifully drawn by Achdé who lovingly mimics Morris’s style and it manages to breathe fresh energy into the Daltons by giving them the chance to blossom as individuals. Plenty of humour too, including Jolly Jumper appearing in a first floor window then complain of losing a shoe after descending a ladder, and although it’s a little softer than Goscinny’s work it’s still well within the sprit and fun of what’s gone before. Lucky Luke is in good hands.

Uma das melhores histórias do Lucky Luke que já li. Esta nova geração de autores pega na energia e no carisma das personagens inventadas por Morris, cuja obra, nos anos finais, se tornara menos interessante. e dá-lhes um novo fôlego. Uma aventura simples, mas com muita graça.

Kolejny nieudany napad i kolejna przymusowa odsiadka niereformowalnych braci. Tym razem jednak rodzeństwo nie ma zamiaru dalej ze sobą współpracować i chcą jasnego ustalenia przywództwa grupy. Joe wpada na pomysł, aby „szefem” został ten, który po wydostaniu się na wolność pierwszy zdobędzie milion dolarów. Pomysłów na szybkie zbogacenie się jest naprawdę wiele. Jeden zajmuje się tradycyjnymi napadami na banki, drugi próbuje sił w hazardzie, inny wkracza na rynek restauracyjny, a ostatni zostaje politykiem. Jedno jest pewne, ich działanie przysporzy Luke’a o poważny ból głowy. Będzie on musiał zrobić wszystko, aby ponownie „zjednoczyć” braci, którzy w grupie stanowią o wiele mniejszy kłopot dla świata.
Siedemdziesiąty szósty album serii, za którego scenariusz odpowiedzialni są Tonino Benacquiste i Daniel Pennac odchodzi od dotychczasowego stylu cyklu, w której dominowały sceny rodem ze slapstickowej komedii sytuacyjnej. W przypadku tego komiksu twórcy postawili na o wiele bardziej złożony, cyniczny i momentami dość mroczny humor. Zaciera się tutaj również wcześniejszy wyraźny podział na dobro i zło, a twórcy starają się pokazać wieloznaczność niektórych sytuacji. Na pewno przekona to wszystko starszego czytelnika, dla którego pokazane tu treści będą lepiej zrozumiałe. Niekoniecznie jednak album ten sprawdzi się w przypadku młodszych odbiorców. Autorzy co prawda starają się maksymalnie uprosić swoją historię i wypełnić ją typową dla „westernu” akcją, jednak daleko im do historii duetu Morris i Goscinny.
O wiele lepiej album prezentuje się pod względem wizualnym. Artysta Achdé kolejny raz pokazuje, że doskonale pasuje do serii i jest dobrym kontynuatorem stylu Morrisa. Jego sztuka jest mieszanką elegancji i ekspresyjności, co doskonale oddaje klimat komiksu i podsyca dynamikę scen akcji.

I quite enjoyed reading this one - it brings some fresh new ideas for a Lucky Luke adventure featuring the Daltons, and it actually provides some deeper insight to our characters.
The Daltons have finally had enough of Joe's failed plans, and they decide to break up, each on his own, with one goal in mind - the first brother who earns one million dollars will become the official leader of the Dalton gang.
*Spoilers*
Rather than everything going to shambles as one might expect, the Daltons thrive surprisingly well when they are separated. Joe continues the 'tradition' of robbing banks, William becomes the owner of a thriving casino, Jack turns to a career as a corrupt politician, while Averell builds a successful enterprise by being the head chef of a chain of Italian restaurants.
Lucky Luke, who is in charge of apprehending them, resorts to some underhanded measures in order to get them to turn against one another, but he realizes that this could lead them to killing each other. This culminates to a showdown, which forces Lucky Luke to remind them that as brothers they should appreciate that they have each other, for better or worse, while Lucky Luke himself has no family left that cares for him like they have. This is a sobering piece of information, and rarely do we see Lucky Luke confessing that the Daltons have an advantage over him for something.
At the end of the comic, there is even a moment that can be seen as a bit sentimental, where Ma Dalton (while preparing a pie with a file to help her imprisoned sons escape) reminiscences about her sons when they were children and that, despite them being a handful and having to raise them mostly on her own, she is proud of them.
I don't know about the other reviewers, but I found it a really nice story overall.

Maybe a 5 is a bit high, but you cant give halfe a Point, and as a Comedy its realy good.
Apparently the Comic got a lot of negative Feedback, because the Title made the Story a bit predictable?
Mild Spoilers ahead.
I think splitting up the ever pressent Daltons, and letting them have there own Adventure creats a lot of fresh air.
We didnt realy saw them acting on there own much, since the last part of "the Daltons Cousins"
Especially William, and Jack are allowed to be destinctive Personalitys for once.
Usually they just serve as yes Mans, and Puffer for Joe, explaining things to Averall, holding Joes Anger under controll, especially against Averall, but also giving his Ideas reinforcement.
They, even for the Writers, pretty interchangable.
Averall has a nice Story about forming the first Mafia, that was pretty epic.
The short Guest Apperance of Ma Dalton, and Luke speaking out for the gift of Family, and acting genuinly envious, but in a healthy sense, where pretty nice Scenes as well.

Pas très enlevant, limite un peu grotesque. La fin finale dans laquelle Ma Dalton fait son apparition réchappe le tout et lui gagne son unique étoile, sinon c'était zéro.

This is an OK Lucky Luke album. The authors write an OK story that actually manages to use the characters of the Dalton brothers in a new way. No mean feat as they have been featured in oh so many Lucky Luke stories by now. Penance and Benacquista are not Goscinny (the original scriptwriter), but then no-one is...
The artist Achdé is also doing an OK job with the drawings, which more or less looks like they were done by the original artist Morris. Maybe even more than an OK job, as this actually looks like it could have been done by Morris himself.
All-in-all, I miss the wonder and the brilliance of the earlier Lucky Luke albums, but as with another classic album series, Asterix, they went with the far too early passing of Goscinny in 1977. That said, this is well made and fun entertainment in the classical French-Belgian, fun for the whole family tradition, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Joen pomotteluun kyllästyneet Daltonin veljekset päättävät valita rosvokoplalle uuden päällikön. Se nelikosta, joka saa kerättyä ensimmäisenä kasaan miljoona dollaria, perii paikan veljessarjan johdossa.
Lucky Luken uudet seikkailut -sarjan kuudennessa osa "Yksinäinen ratsastaja" (Egmont, 2013) olisi saattanut saada toisenkin tähden, ellen olisi hetki sitten tullut lukeneeksi vanhoja Morrisin ja Goscinnyn klassikkoalbumeja. Surkeaa, kovin surkeaa on nykymeno.
