"I'm a poor lonesome cowboy and a long way from home..." Translated into French, it would look something like this: "I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, far from home..." C This is the lament that Lucky Luke, "the man who shoots faster than his shadow", sings each time an album of his adventures is completed. And as he has been traveling in the American West for several decades, he has had plenty of time to clear his throat... Lucky Luke appears for the first time in Spirou's Almanac dated 1947 and published at the end of 1946. Its creator is a certain Morris - Maurice de Bévère for civil status. A fan of westerns and America, who also stayed in the United States in the early 1950s. In particular, he met the team from the crazy magazine Mad, who made him want to make a pure parody of his character. He also crossed paths with René Goscinny, future father of Asterix, who became the screenwriter of Lucky Luke in 1955 and remained so until his death in 1977. The Lucky Luke albums revisit the history of the western and feature with humor and distance the great figures of the West, like Judge Roy Bean or Calamity Jane. And, of course, the famous Dalton brothers, transformed here into a pitiful and funny quartet, spending their time escaping from prison before being taken back there by the hero... And then, there is Rantanplan. Whoever once said that a dog was a man's best friend must not have known about Rantanplan, the stupidest dog west of the Pecos - and probably everywhere else. Fortunately, Jolly Jumper, the hero's horse and, on occasion, his chess partner, is there to restore the balance... Today, Lucky Luke has changed a little. For example, he no longer smokes. He replaced the cigarette with a twig of grass. He drinks coke more than whiskey. But with his yellow shirt, his white cuffed jeans, his black vest and his red scarf, he undoubtedly remains the most famous cowboy in all of comics. --Gilbert Jacques
