Ratata

Riding into the Bronze Age of comics through the sun-baked panels of the beloved Lucky Luke universe, Ratata made their debut in 1974 courtesy of the creative talents of René Goscinny, Morris, and Veronica Schildt-Bendjelloul. Published under Nordisk bok across nearly two decades, this character inhabits a world populated by some of the wildest company imaginable — sharing pages with Lucky Luke himself and the notorious Dalton brothers. A figure of the Scandinavian Lucky Luke publishing tradition, Ratata may have a modest seven appearances in the catalog, but every one places them squarely in one of comics' most charming and enduring Western worlds.
