A Lucky Luke Adventure #74

Few western heroes trade the dusty trail for a snowy mountainside quite as memorably as Lucky Luke does on this cover by Morris, where the lanky cowboy — rifle in hand and hat firmly on his head — tackles a steep Klondike slope on skis, with his faithful horse Jolly Jumper gamely strapped into a pair of skis beside him. The snowy pine-covered landscape sets the tone perfectly for adventure number 74, signaling that this collaboration between Morris, Yann, and Jean Léturgie takes Lucky Luke well beyond the familiar American West. It's a wonderfully playful image that promises something fresh and genuinely fun from one of European comics' most enduring series.
