A Lucky Luke Adventure #1

The cover of this Cinebook English-language edition says it all: Lucky Luke has a very unhappy young outlaw laid across his knee and is delivering a firm, open-handed correction, while his faithful horse Jolly Jumper looks on with wide-eyed, almost scandalized amusement. Morris's clean, expressive linework gives the scene an irresistible comedic energy that perfectly captures the series' tone — the American West filtered through sharp European wit, courtesy of Morris and Goscinny. A fine entry point into one of Franco-Belgian comics' most beloved Western series.
