Lucky Luke #97

Lucky Luke heads to the City of Light in Band 97, "Ein Cowboy in Paris" — and Achdé's cover sets the scene perfectly, with the familiar white-hatted cowboy drawing his revolver while perched on a Parisian rooftop, a pigeon eyeing him from a nearby chimney, and the Statue of Liberty rising behind him on a construction scaffold against a bright blue sky. It's a clever, playful image that captures the fish-out-of-water charm of the album's premise. With art and inks by Achdé and a script by Jul, this 2018 Egmont Ehapa edition promises the wit and warmth that have made the series a beloved staple of European comics.
