He always stands on the side of the law, helping local authorities to resist bandits and other villains. Like a true superhero, he has his own superpower: to shoot faster than his own shadow! Each Lucky Luke story is a thrilling and highly educational comedy western that reflects the real-life events surrounding the exploration of the Wild West. This time a psychiatry luminary from Europe, Professor Otto von Himbergheist, comes to a small Texas town. In one of the prisons he intends to meet with the most incorrigible bandits to cure them of their criminal tendencies once and for all using his own methods. Lucky Luke is assigned to accompany the professor and provide him with every possible assistance. Well, their test patients are longtime acquaintances of Luke - the Dalton brothers. Comics about Lucky Luke are designed for the widest audience. Both children and older readers will be delighted with the adventurous storyline, virtuoso cartoon drawing, good irony and humor in literally every frame. The humor, based, as a rule, on wordplay and principles of situation comedy, never falls below the belt. And despite the fact that the heroes now and then waving guns and making piffle, in these stories there is neither rudeness nor violence. The protagonist shoots, only to deftly knock the weapon out of the hands of opponents with a skillful shot. And the opponents, naturally, always miss. It is safe to say that not a single character is harmed in any story. Unless you count bruises and bumps, which periodically deservedly get negative heroes. Especially worth noting is the easy-to-read large print, thanks to which the comics about Lucky Luke will be suitable for beginning readers and will be the first step for them to read novels by Fenimore Cooper and Mein Reed. The creators of "Lucky Luke" - two brilliant humorists, the Belgian artist Maurice de Bever, who worked under the pseudonym Morris, and the Frenchman René Gosinny, well known to Russian readers for the cycle of stories "Little Nicolas" and the comics about Asterix, where he also acted as a scriptwriter.
