Lucky Luke

Few Western heroes have ridden as long or as far as Lucky Luke, the sharpshooting cowboy who first galloped onto the pages of Spirou #528 in 1948 — a Golden Age debut under the watch of the legendary André Franquin. Published by Dupuis across an extraordinary 76 years and counting, he's one of Franco-Belgian comics' most enduring icons, appearing across Spirou, Pilote, and his own long-running series. With two key collector issues to his name and a roster of celebrated page-mates that includes Spirou, Fantasio, Gaston, and the beloved Jolly Jumper, Lucky Luke sits at the very heart of European comics history — a character well worth seeking out for any serious collector of the form.
