Book Hero thinking about your next read

A cowboy who shoots faster than his own shadow, his sarcastic horse, a quartet of incredibly stupid bandits - this is the Old West at its funniest. The 81st adventure of Lucky Luke, the Lonesome Cowboy!

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Old West was full of itchy trigger fingers, but also had its share of hemp necktie enthusiasts. Lucky Luke is not a fan of such summary justice, and when he interrupts an improvised hanging with no less than three ropes for a single man, he runs afoul of an unpleasant individual with a knack for manipulating bored and drunk crowds...

Lucky Luke Vol. 81: The Hanged Man's Rope and Other Stories features seven short stories by Goscinny and his friends, illustrated by Morris himselfβ€”pure Lucky Luke concentrate!

About the Author

There, he worked for MAD magazine and met RenΓ© Goscinny, with whom he collaborated from 1955 until Goscinny's death in 1977. Goscinny also created the Iznogoud series with illustrator Tabary, published in English by Cinebook, and the hugely successful Asterix series with illustrator Uderzo.
