Thanks for finally translating some more Lucky Luke titles! These books are great because you do actually learn some history while being entertained!

Lucky Luke was a very popular comic series in Europe, drawn by Belgian artist Moris and written (in this case) by the late Rene Goscinny (of Asterix fame). The series, which has a fine combination of adventure and humor drawn in the clean line tradition of the Belgian school, is barely known in the US, even though the action is set on the American Old West. The star of all the books is, of course, Lucky Luke, the cowboy who shoots faster than his shadow. He rides the faithful Jolly Jumper and is often accompanied by the not too bright dog Ran Tan Plan. The Wagon Train itself, originally written in 1964, is a very good example of the series, one of its best books, and is itself a take down of John Ford's classic film Stagecoach (1939), with Luke in the John Wayne character, as he tries to bring a convoy of stagecoaches to California. Highly recommended.

The Lucky Luke series has been popular for a lonnnnng time in many countries. Now English-speakers are getting to enjoy this series, originally published in French, through translations published by Cinebook. The Wagon Train features an Old West wagon train in need of a brave leader . . . Enter Lucky Luke--the cowboy who can shoot faster than his own shadow--astride his horse Jolly Jumper.Note: Lucky Luke never kills anyone in 50+ volumes of stories about the Wild West, where he encounters real characters from those days, such as the Dalton Gang and Calamity Jane.

all very nice I am very happy about amazon service too. thank you

always great

This is a matter of personal preference but I found the text a little difficult to read. Apart from that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with good ol' Lucky Luke!

A good Lucky Luke from the later Dupuis era (1964), with funny characters and gags and a clear storyline. The eccentric inventor and French barber stand out among the cast. The colouring, using only the most basic primaries, leaves something to be desired, but I guess you can't have everything.
