About the author
Morris
700 books132 followersThe 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.

I remember when he actually killed Phil off. Didn't happen in this version. Bit of a shame.
Also, both his superstition and Luke's revolver could have been more effectively set up before they became relevant to the plot.

This book sees a reprinting of one of Lucky Luke’s earliest adventures, before Morris teamed up with writing partner Goscinny, and only the eighth Lucky Luke tale to see print. Morris’s cartoon style is still developing at this point, and Luke has some way to go to settle on the look and style of later volumes, but he’s still recognisable, and the tone of the story is very much set in place by this point.
Phil Wire is a hired gun; a deadly individual who also just happens to be exceptionally tall which lands itself to several quality gags, not least where the dresser in Phil Wire’s bedroom is nailed halfway up the wall so the mirror’s at the correct height. Over in Bottleneck Gulch a wealthy saloon owner has seen his trade threatened by a rival saloon opening right next door, so after throwing his weight around a bit and getting nowhere he sends for Phil Wire to put an end to the predicament once and for all. Unfortunately for Phil, he crosses paths with Lucky Luke as he leaves and the letter offering him employment falls into Luke’s hands. Luke swiftly ascertains that something’s up and resolves to get involved, which is handy for the new saloon owner who goes from being on the hit list to having a guardian angel (he and Luke are also, it transpires, old friends).
By the time Phil Wire turns up in Bottleneck Gulch, the saloon owners and the local populace think the matter all sorted, but Phil, naturally, has other ideas, and so Luke has to go head-to-head with one of the deadliest guns in the West. We even get to see some of Phil's shooting practice which includes shooting at bottles while doing a hand-stand (and he shoots two-handed).
You can tell Morris was enjoying himself tremendously with this one, and he’s even based Phil Wire’s look on Jack Palance which works very well. You get a good idea from the level of humour already present just what attracted Goscinny to take on the writing chores a short time later. It’s great fun all round and another welcome addition to the Lucky Luke series.

Und noch ein früher "Lucky Luke"-Band: Als in Bottleneck Gulch neben dem Pik-As-Saloon der Harz-As-Saloon aufmacht, versucht der Besitzer der alteingesessenen Bar, den Neuling zu vertreiben: Er heuert den Revolvermann Phil Steel an, der mit seinen Schießkünsten dem Herz-As-Betreiber Beine machen soll. Weil sich Steel allerdings auf dem Weg mit Lucky Luke anlegt, gibt sich dieser als der bestellte Killer aus – der gar nicht daran denkt, im Dorf für Unruhe zu sorgen. Aber der echte Steel ist ihm auf den Fersen. Bald kommt es zum Showdown. // Auch Band 83 "Lucky Luke gegen Phil Steel" haut eine olle Kamelle aus dem Jahr 1956 raus, die Morris zeichnete und auch textete. Besonderheit: Als Bonusstory gibt es die Zweitgeschichte "Pille" auf den letzten Seiten, und Luke legt im Finale tatsächlich auf Steel an (den Morris nach Jack Palance gestaltete) und verletzt diesen schwer – in den späteren und noch humorigeren Bänden beinahe undenkbar. Morris' Zeichenstil ist hier noch sehr grob und ungeschliffen, aber auch interessant anzuschauen, der Humor auch eher Slapstick als mit feiner Ironie. Dennoch: In diesem Falle hat es mich gut unterhalten!

Άλλη μια ιστορία από τις πρώτες του Morris πριν ακόμα κατασταλάξει στην προσωπικότητα του Λούκη Λουκ. Σχεδιαστικά είναι αρκετά κοντά στην τελική μορφή του ήρωα. Αυτή τη φορά ο Λούκη Λουκ βρίσκεται αντιμέτωπος με τον πανυψηλο Φιλ Ντέφερ τον επονομαζόμενο και Θεριστή. Το τεύχος περιλαμβάνει και την ιστορία "Ο ¨Χάπιας" στην οποία ουσιαστικά, απουσιάζει ο Λούκυ Λουκ, αλλά είναι απολαυστική.

Un album de Lucky Luke où le personnage est plutôt secondaire car Phil Defer les moments plus glorieux et classiques. C'est un ouvre antérieur à Goscinny et le style graphique n'est pas encore réussi et le scenario est parfois un peu salope, mais l'album est super amusant et Phil Defer est peut-être le meilleur méchant de Lucky Luke (sauve les Dalton, bien sûr).

One of the good enough early Lucky Luke issues but Morris had still a long way to go back then and Goscinny wasn't a part of the Lucky Luke comics yet.

Tämä on se Lucky Luke, missä Luke ampuu tappaakseen. Muuta merkittävää tässä ei sitten olekkaan.

Kill Phil
Auch die witzige Karikatur von Jack Palance reißt es nicht mehr heraus, dass wir nun schon zum vierten Mal dieselbe Geschichte präsentiert bekommen, nur mit einem anderen Protagonisten. Gewiss ist es lustig, den schlacksigen Phil Defer zu beobachten, wie er mit seinen langen Beinen durch Fenster oder über Tische steigt, aber da eh klar ist, dass außer dieser Situationskomik nichts in Bezug auf Handlung passieren wird, ist das so einfach zu wenig für mich.
Die zweite Geschichte des Bands, "Pillule", ist dann endgültig sehr schwaches Füllmaterial, das es nur in den Band durch den "Lucky Luke erzählt eine Geschichte"-Trick geschafft hat.
Es wird Zeit, dass ein guter Szenarist dazu kommt...

Di film Lucky-Luke-nya Jean Dujardin, dikisahkan bahwa sejak kematian orang tuanya, Lucky Luke bersumpah untuk tidak pernah membunuh. Karena mengira ia telah membunuh Pat Poker, ia pun terpukul dan menyesal, akhirnya pensiun dari dunia kang-ouw (loh?).
Tapi versi film mungkin lebih mendekati versi Lucky Luke yang biasa. Kalau versi yang ini, yang Lucky Luke-nya nggak begitu familiar karena beda dengan yang versi terbitan Indira, dia nggak segan-segan membunuh lawan, seperti Phil Steel atau Dalton Bersaudara (bukan yang Joe cs).

Une des couvertures les plus cinématographiques de la collection. Et une histoire à la hauteur.
La classique lutte d'influence entre deux notables d'une petites bourgades permet à Morris de confronter Lucky Luke à un tueur à gage (Phil Defer) dessiné avec les traits de Jack Palance. Si Lucky Luke tuait Defer dans la première édition, il est à noter que dans la suivante, il se contente de le blesser... et vive la censure ! (trop de violence pour nos têtes blondes)

Oldies and um, a bit sadistic and hyperbolic. But I enjoyed it all the same.

Pretty funny this one. I love how Morris made Phil Wire a VERY good likeness of Jack Palance.
