A Lucky Luke Adventure #73

The cover of this seventy-third Lucky Luke adventure sets the tone perfectly: our cool, drawling cowboy stands gun-in-hand, utterly unfazed, as a wild-eyed, bearded figure in a flowing yellow robe fires frantically into the air — while a small dog sniffs around at his feet and a row of scruffy onlookers peer over a fence in the background. Morris's crisp, expressive linework gives the whole scene that irresistible blend of tension and comedy the series does so well. With Patrick Nordmann scripting and Morris's art guiding the way, *The Prophet* looks like a thoroughly entertaining entry in Lucky Luke's long-running saga.
