“Les aventures d’Al Crane”

About this Collection

This volume collects the complete adventures of Al Crane, a satirical Western series originally serialized in Pilote magazine. Created by writer Pierre Christin and artist Alexis, the stories follow the hapless, anti-heroic gunslinger through a series of absurd and self-referential misadventures that parody the conventions of the Western genre. The collection brings together all the Al Crane strips published in Pilote, presented in the classic album format of Dargaud's Collection Pilote series.

A collection of the early adventures of Al Crane, a lone figure navigating a world of mystery and intrigue, presented in the 1977 Dargaud edition of Pilote #1. The story unfolds through the distinctive artwork of Alexis, with writing by Gérard Lauzier, capturing a noir-inspired tone. The cover, also by Alexis, features the character in a striking, stylized portrait.
