Lucky Luke - The vigilante. - Lot 88

Lucky Luke - The vigilante. GOSCINNY - MORRIS Lucky Luke - Le Justicier. Dargaud, 1980. In-12 paperback, color illustrated cover. Volume published as part of Dargaud's famous "16/22" collection, the pocket format that popularized the great classics of Franco-Belgian comics. We find the man who shoots faster than his shadow in a selection of his exploits, served up by the scriptwriting genius of René Goscinny and the incomparable line of Morris. Morris's edgy, easy-to-read graphics capture all the vivacity of the parodic Far West, where Lucky Luke and his trusty Jolly Jumper rule with unflappable phlegm. This small, supple format bears witness to the golden age of publishing, when comics moved out of their "big album" format and into the mainstream. Justification page: © DARGAUD EDITEUR 1980.
