About the author

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

I can almost believe that the second telegraph sent is also a real history fact, but I can't find anything of it one way or the other. Still it nags me.

Often overlooked in the UK this is a great comic.. this is a humourous look at the completion of the telegraph line. Taking historical cues and having fun with it Goscinny and Morris pack each page with gags and adventure. Lucky Luke is a very likeable character and was created and drawn by Morris, asterix co-creator, Goscinny, took over writing duties until his death. Like asterix the series is still going strong with a new generation of writers and artists. Long may this type of comic continue :)

Lucky Luke újabb vadnyugati históriája a távíróvonal felállításának utolsó szakaszát követi végig, amivel is teljessé vált a nyugat és kelet közötti összeköttetés az USA-ban. 2 csapat egyszerre indul, a győztesé lesz 100e dollár, már adott is természetesen, hogy valaki megpróbálja majd szabotálni a dolgot. Ám ez az egész meglepően civilizáltan zajlik, sokkal kevésbé radikálisak a katasztrófák. Vannak egész jó poénok is, mint például a Sosone törzsfőnök és a medve esete. Korrekt kis limonádé sztori, ami jól illeszkedik a Lucky Luke albumok sorába, de ezúttal az elképesztő poén-áradat elmarad.

καλή ιστορία, μερικά εξαιρετικά καλαμπούρια, αλλά σε αρκετά σημεία παραείναι χαζοχαρούμενο. Αν και αυτό το κουσούρι το έχει συχνά ο Λούκυ Λουκ

Me gustó más por su valor histórico que por su humor. Conocer un poco del origen de Western Union y la línea entre costa y costa para comunicaciones, me ayudó a entender uno de los factores que ayudaron a los Estados Unidos a ser tan poderosos. Lucky Luke sirve en esta historia para ayudar en los obstáculos del camino en la misma vena que en el volumen 9 (Los Rieles de la Pradera). Estos son mi tipo de historia favorita, porque no cumple con los tropos generales de un Western (el duelo a mediodía, defender un pueblo, etc), sino que trabaja más como un periplo y cada obstáculo viene en el camino, mejor que como en otras historias que los obstáculos aparecen de repente.

En el departamento visual, se nota la mejoría en Morris. Tomando enfoques más riesgosos y un coloreado que no se aleja mucho de lo que tradicionalmente ha hecho en los tomos anteriores, pero se acercan cada vez más a lo realista.

(PT) Em 1861, no principio da Guerra Civil, Abraham Lincoln decide aceitar um desafio: ligar Leste a Oeste através do telégrafo, substituindo o Pony Express. Lucky Luke acompanha-os na empresa, mas enquanto os postes são colocados e o fio ligado, sabotagens acontecem pelo caminho, porque há um prémio de 100 mil dólares em jogo...

"O Fio Que Canta" é um dos livros que Morris e Goscinny colaboraram para a personagem Lucky Luke. Baseado em factos reais - estão desenhados Abraham Lincoln e Bringham Young, o líder dos mormons, pois a junção seria em Salt Lake City - é uma aventura divertida sobre as dificuldades que passaram para concretizar esta tarefa bem titânica, ainda antes da construção do caminho de ferro transcontinental, que iria acontecer no final dessa década. É graças à pena de Goscinny que se torna num livro ótimo.

Barangkali dari segi cerita, komik Lucky Luke ini tidak terlalu lucu. Tapi nomor ini begitu penuh dengan sejarah. The Singing Wire adalah julukan yang diberikan oleh orang Indian untuk kabel telegraph yang membentang di sepanjang daratan Amerika. Alkisah, bagian barat dan timur Amerika pada masa itu belum terhubung secara cepat. Komunikasi masih terbatas (di awal-awal komik, Morris bahkan menceritakan tentang tahun-tahun dan sarana komunikasi yang dipakai sebelum telegraph ditemukan). Maka Presiden Lincoln kemudian memutuskan untuk menghubungkan kedua belah sisi Amerika itu dengan kawat telegraph yang pada masa itu pembangunannya terputus. Di sini Lucky Luke berperan sebagai pengawal pembangunan tiang-tiang dan kawat telegraph. Cerita kemudian menjadi rumit karena ternyata ada hadiah bagi tim pertama yang sampai ke kota tujuan.

This story was rated quiet high, and whenever lucky luke adresses one iconic element of the west, its usually realy good.
And yeah its a good story, it had a bit of a mystery to it, and we can even see some of its elements carried over to the movie la ballada de dalton, whit the salt desert, and the comedically elaborate selection of drinks avaiable to the survivors.

My biggest gripe however is the antagonist, the main one, not his agent. It doesnt feel much like a race whitout real updates on the enemy, and the traitor is completly hidden.
As such it suffers from offscreening. I think showing the shenanigans of the other fraction could have been entertaining to.

[Stephen Theaker]

In a book by the classic Morris/Goscinny team, Lucky Luke joins an effort to extend the telegraph wires from west and east until they meet at Salt Lake City. Whichever team arrives there first will win a prize. Unfortunately, there's a saboteur on Lucky Luke's team, and the terrain is difficult. Typically enjoyable, typically dated in places, the square and rectangular panels look absolutely splendid on an iPad.

Eniten tässä leppoisassa seikkailussa hämmentää se, että vaikka hahmot ovat karrikoituja, osuvat ne todella hyvin oikeaan. Juuri noin idiottimaisesti monet päivittäin kohtaamistani ihmisistä toimivatkin.

[Andreas Stamatopoulos]

Πρόκειται για μια από τις καλές περιπέτειες του Λούκυ Λουκ. Αυτή τη φορά ο ήρωας μας αναλαμβάνει να βοηθήσει να εξαπλωθεί ο τηλέγραφος και να φτάσει σε κάθε άκρη των ΗΠΑ. Ωραία ιστορία με δράση και χιούμορ!

[Emre]

Şarkı söyleyen tel neymiş merak ederdim, meğerse telgrafı ülkenin bir ucundan diğer ucuna çekme yarışmasıymış. Kızılderililer de klasik olarak bu tellerden korkuyor ve ona şarkı söyleyen tel diyorlar. Tabii Kızılderili halkını kandıran bir kişi var o da karşı tarafın tuttuğu bir adamdı.

[Jota Houses]

Uno de los pequeños tesoros que produjo el tándem Morris y Goscinny. Humor socarrón, aventura y diversión. IMPRESCINDIBLE

[Al Capwned]

Typical Lucky Luke story in the usual Goscinny style. This time the event taking place is the construction of a telegraph network.

[Η Cultσα]

Άλλο ένα Λούκυ Λουκ κόμικ βασισμένο σε ιστορικά γεγονότα. Κλασικό σύστημα Goscinny που στέφεται με επιτυχία για ακόμη μία φορά.

[Ioannidesz Evjeniosz]

[Mu Thomart Nimal]

Un excellent Lucky Luke

[Erik]

Nice history story about the telegraph line in the wild west. Full of action and humour.

[Krishnakumar Mohanasundaram]

Another classic!!

This is based on the first complete telegraph line that was laid across the west!!

A good subject to spin around a fun album and the authors have done exactly that!

Loved it 😊

[Krisz]

Again an educational, yet exciting story about how the telegraph was built across US.

[Guguk]

Pemasangan kawat telegrap~ (^o^)/

Keren yah perjalanan sejarah telekomunikasi (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
Dari yang ribetnya kayak di komik ini, sampe sekarang di taun 2015 cuman tinggal notol-2 smartphone udah bisa konek ke mana-mana~

[Maja]

Mein Französisch ist nicht besonders gut, aber es reicht um eine klassische Lucky Luke Geschichte zu lesen und zu genießen ~

[Antonio Meridda]

Il telegrafo si diffonde nel west, ma in tanti si oppongono a quest'innovazione tecnologica. Riuscirà Lucky Luke a proteggere la storica spedizione che unirà le due coste americane?

I always enjoyed these as a child, so I decided to read this one as a quick diversion.
