Collection 16/22 #86

Published by Dargaud in 1980 as part of the affordable 16/22 collection, this volume presents La Légende d'Alexis Mac Coy by Gourmelen and Palacios. The cover commands attention with a rugged, weathered frontiersman — Mac Coy himself — staring out from beneath a wide-brimmed hat, a rifle in hand and a rearing horse looming behind him against a frontier landscape. It's a wonderfully atmospheric piece of Western storytelling that captures the gritty, mythic spirit of the American frontier.
