Maurice and Goscinny: Lucky Luke. Stagecoach

"Lucky Luke", along with "Tintin" and "Asterix", is one of the three most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world. The total number of copies of books in this series has exceeded 300 million. "Lucky Luke" has already been translated into more than 25 languages, and finally appeared in Russian!

Lucky Luke is a charming and fearless lonely cowboy from the time of the conquest of the American Wild West. He is a real hero, and even a superhero, honest and fair, defender of all the weak and helpless. 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: shoot faster than his own shadow!

Each story about Lucky Luke is an exciting and highly educational comedy western, which reflects the real events associated with the development of the Wild West.

This time, Lucky Luke is tasked with escorting a Wells Fargo stagecoach carrying passengers and a valuable cargo of gold across half of America, from Denver to San Francisco. The heroes will have another dangerous journey in a vehicle typical of those times - a stagecoach, which has become in some way a symbol of the era of the development of the Wild West. "Stagecoach" is not only a western, but also a detective, because Lucky Luke will have to figure out among the passengers a traitor who, together with accomplices, plans to rob a stagecoach and take possession of a chest of gold.

Lucky Luke comics are designed for the widest possible audience. Both children and older readers will be delighted with the adventure plot outline, virtuoso caricature drawing, kind irony and humor literally in every frame. Humor, usually based on puns and sitcom principles, never goes below the belt. And despite the fact that the characters now and then brandish guns and make bang-bang, 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 well-aimed shot. And opponents, of course, always miss. We can safely say that not a single character was harmed in any story. Except for the bruises and bumps that negative characters periodically deservedly receive. Author: Rene Goscinny
