A Lucky Luke Adventure #68

The cover of this 68th Lucky Luke adventure sets the tone perfectly: our hero dangles precariously over a riverbank, brandishing a wrench aloft while several very patient-looking alligators lurk in the shallows below — and a vulture perches smugly on the red iron bridge framework overhead. Morris's artwork captures that signature blend of slapstick danger and frontier charm that has made this series so enduring, with writers Xavier Fauche and Jean Léturgie promising a tale as wide as the Mississippi itself. If you've ever wondered what it takes to build a bridge across America's mightiest river, this 2018 Cinebook release suggests the answer involves considerable peril — and at least one wrench.
