A Lucky Luke Adventure #35

The cover of this thirty-fifth Lucky Luke adventure says it all with cheerful absurdity: Lucky Luke clings to a telegraph pole that's been set ablaze at its base — a feathered arrow lodged nearby hinting at who's responsible — while a bemused vulture perches on the wire above him, drooling with optimism, and more of the birds circle patiently against a bright blue sky. Morris's line work is as crisp and expressive as ever, delivering that perfect blend of peril and comic timing the series does so well. With René Goscinny providing the story and Morris handling every line of the art, *The Singing Wire* looks like a thoroughly entertaining ride through the Wild West's telegraphic growing pains.
