Jolly Jumper

Jolly Jumper is Lucky Luke's remarkably intelligent horse, widely regarded as the smartest horse in the world. Loyal and quick-witted, he accompanies the lonesome cowboy across the American West, often proving as capable — and as sardonic — as his rider.

Few comics companions have the staying power of Jolly Jumper, who first galloped onto the page in Bonniers' Lucky Lukes äventyr / Lucky Luke klassiker #2 in 1971 and kept appearing for an remarkable 46 years across beloved Swedish-market series like Luckyserien and Lucky Lukes äventyr. A Bronze Age arrival brought to life by the legendary René Goscinny and Morris alongside Gun Bengtsson, this character shares the wild, rowdy world of the Dalton brothers — William, Jack, Averell, and the notorious Joe — making every appearance a lively affair. With a key collector's issue among those 52 catalog entries, Jolly Jumper is a rewarding find for fans who love the classic European Western tradition at its most charming and enduring.
