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

Ah Lucky Luke. It's not quite as subtle as Asterix and it's not quite as clever as Tintin. But maaaaaaan. So, to answer your question, which I can only assume is 'why are you reading a French language version of a picture book adaptation of a 1970's animated film?' it's partly to keep my hand in my Francophone abilities, partly my penchant for obscure bande dessinée apocrypha and partly so anyone visiting my home and using the bathroom will see it and think I'm fancy. Alright, so it's mostly the latter. But either way it's a nice little tale and the quite literally the last thing Rene Goscinny worked on; he recorded the vocals for Luke's horse Jolly Jumper the day before he died. I can't give it more than three stars though, that racist Asian caricature is yikes on several bikes. Or tiens dans beacoup des velos, if you prefer.

This was the first Lucky Luke book that I wholeheartedly enjoyed reading up together with my kids. The first story, the "Ballad of the Daltons" is around 30 pages, and another 3 short stories make up this edition. I loved the humour, the way he dealt with the bandits, the Indian sitter he had to save amongst many, all-in-all a well-rounded story with lots of fun and laughing. The other 3 shorter ones are also ok, this was really good fun that I enjoyed!

The first story is quite good but the rest is less than mediocre mostly.

Η ομώνυμη μεγάλη ιστορία είναι πολύ δυνατή και φαίνεται να ήταν σε κείμενα Goscinny. Οι υπόλοιπες δε λένε και πολλά.

[Hanussen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Balada trpí stejnými adaptačními nedostatky jako Daisy Town. Doplňující příběhy jsou taky slabší.
