Rantanplan

Rantanplan (1989–2001, Egmont Ehapa) is a German-language comic series spun off from the Lucky Luke universe, centering on the dim-witted but lovable prison guard dog of the same name. Over its 10-issue run, writers Xavier Fauche, Jean Léturgie, and Gudrun Penndorf, alongside artists including Morris, Michel Janvier, and Vittorio Leonardo, crafted slapstick Western adventures that highlight Rantanplan’s bumbling charm. This series matters as a playful expansion of Morris’s iconic world, giving a minor character his own spotlight in a compact, humor-driven run.
