A Lucky Luke Adventure #25

The cover of this twenty-fifth Lucky Luke adventure by Morris and Goscinny says it all: a battered Wells Fargo & Co. U.S. Mail stagecoach thunders across a crumbling wooden bridge, its wild-eyed driver cracking a whip while terrified passengers peer from the windows and a trunk goes flying — all while a patient vulture waits hopefully below. Morris's lively linework captures the breathless, comedic energy that makes Lucky Luke such a pleasure, and Lucky Luke himself watches coolly from the corner, unbothered as ever. If you enjoy Western comedy with a distinctly European wit, this 2010 Cinebook edition is a thoroughly entertaining ride.
