Averell Dalton

Averell Dalton is the youngest and most dim-witted of the four outlaw Dalton brothers, perpetually hungry and cheerfully oblivious to danger, who serve as recurring antagonists to cowboy hero Lucky Luke in the Franco-Belgian comics tradition.

Lumbering, lovable, and perpetually hungry, Averell Dalton has been delighting readers of the Belgian comics giant Dupuis since his 1959 debut in Spirou — a Silver Age introduction that launched a legacy stretching across an remarkable 65 years of publication. Created by Jean-Michel Charlier and MiTacq, this endearing figure shares his pages with the likes of Lucky Luke and Fantasio, keeping genuinely iconic company in the Franco-Belgian comics tradition. Whether turning up in Spirou or the Rocky Luke series, Averell is one of those characters whose warmth and comic energy have made him a perennial presence worth seeking out for any fan of classic European comics.
