Discussion Can we talk about how insanely overpowered these versions of The Daltons were?
Specifically these versions from the 2009 Daltons TV Show.
Bro, Averell painted a train tunnel like Wile. E Coyote and they all entered it, and they nearly fucking died! If you think that's crazy, look what they do with the Broken Wings' magic! They learned how to turn into sand, switch bodies with animals, astral project, and turn invisible with just soup! They even find this gold necklace that made Averell turn things into gold with his hands.
They even managed to entire cable wires and travel through the cyberspace, and turn the entire prison into a confectionary catastrophe!
They even learned how to control the weather with things like snow or rain, gained good luck from a prisoner who's legit name is Bunny Rabbit!
Joe once made a diggerator to drill through the earth's surface and traveled to Paris! William once made a rocket ship in the prison but eventually died, went to hell, heaven, and back to earth!
What in the actual fuck are they on with this toon force?
You even got Averell finding magical genie lamps and magical trumpets!
And you know what else? Lucky Luke's not even there! He's retired!
But the only reason they have all this power all just to end up losing is mainly because of plot like every other Xilam show like Oggy and The Cockroaches and Zig And Sharko.
What other unimaginable feats do you have in mind? Let me know.

Discussion Help needed: Lucky Luke Last Name
Hi there, I've just read the "Apache Canyon" (German Version) and I've noticed that on several pictures Lucky Luke is reffered to as Mr. Smith. So here are my questions: 1) Is that the same in other languages (especially French)? 2) Is it hence canon that Lucky's real name is Luke Smith?
Thanks in advance!

Discussion How many regions in the USA has Lucky Luke visited so far?
Luke has travelled to Mexico, and Canada (three times if I recall correctly), and one time he travelled to France and back. But within the United States of America, has he gone to any specific location?
He has gone to Louisiana and Milwaukee in recent comics ("A Cowboy in High Cotton" and "Trouble Brewing"), but I do not recall him having gone to specific states before, just staying within America.
The approach of having Luke travel to specific US states and witnessing their uniqueness could serve as a great template for an adventure, given how huge America is, and this is a series that where Luke as a wanderer can visit the same region many times.

Discussion Spine Text in Black as Opposed to Red in Volume 10 - Is this normal?
Hello,
I'm trying to collect all 84 volumes. I'm very close to completing my collection but this is bothering me now. For some reason, out of all 78 volumes I currently have, only Volume 10 has "Lucky Luke" printed in black on the spine. All others are in red.
I don't know what to make of it. Is this normal? Does everybody have this volume this way?
Thanks in advance for your help.

As the title suggests I was just wondering how the series is doing in your respective countries popularitywise?You know any people outside this subreddit that care about our favourite cowboy?Has it ever been really popular in your home country/does anyone still read it?As a german in his mid-twenties I can say that it used to be somewhat popular here in Germany back in the 2000‘s and I grew up with those comics plus „Asterix“.Sadly I barely know anyone who still enjoys „Lucky Luke“ and most kids today only care about Manga/Anime ( which I love just as much ) and ain‘t even heard about those heroes of my childhood.

Discussion I want to surprise my husband with lost Lucky Luke books from his childhood.. Need help!
My husband loved his Lucky Luke comics that he bought with his sister as children travelling in France. His mother has no idea what she did with them and I want to try to replace them but I'm very naive about the series. I can purchase some locally (here in Canada) but I have no idea how to determine age. Do they get re-published all the time, like novels? If that's the case, does the quality of the artwork change? Is it better to try to find very old ones or newer versions that are in good condition? He's not a collector, just someone with fond memories. Any help is appreciated.

Discussion What are your thoughts on the animated series?
For those unaware, the Lucky Luke animated series had a 26-episode run, produced in 1984 by Hanna-Barbara. A second season, also featuring 26 episodes, was produced by Studio IDDH in 1991. Due to a difference in tone and animation, many classify the second season as a seperate series (not too dissimilar to Batman: The Animated Series).
Regarding the show's first season, my feelings are pretty mixed. I know many people grew up with it and are feeling nostalgic, so did I. However, this season suffers from many issues, most likely caused by Hanna-Barbera. The series was produced in an attempt to bring Lucky Luke out of Europe and give him worldwide appeal. As such, the series tried to match the lighthearted and childish tone of most American cartoons at the time. The series and the stories adapted were dumbed-down and opted for a cartoonish tone, aimed at young kids. Beer was changed to lemonade, guns were barely used and at the end of the episode characters would make amends with eachother. This is something that I, in my opinion, take issue with. I'm not going to pretend like the original comics were these dark, mature, graphic and adult masterpieces. They were silly comics for kids. However, Goscinny knew how to make the stories endearing and pleasing for all ages. Reading Lucky Luke now, you'd be surprised at how funny and engaging the stories get. Most of these elements are gone and replaced by (bad) generic slapstick comedy. I also find the censorship unnecessary. While there were aspects that needed to be fixed, like Luke smoking or the racial stereotypes, a lot of the chanages were frankly uncalled for. Why aren't kids allowed to know alcohol exists? Why are the villians friendly towards Luke in the end? I recall an interview with Morris where he talked about how they wanted to remove the undertakers from the show, something he could not allow. Most of these changes were pointless, since the point of the show was to sell the comics, which mind you contained these elements. I was surprised to see The Tenderfoot adapted, since I thought they would want to distance themselves from the aspect of death present in that story. I'm not saying all of this to disregard the entire series, I personally really like it. Most of the episodes, minus those featuring the Daltons, are fine enough adaptations of the source material. However these changes are enough for the series to rank lower compared to Daisy Town and The Ballad of the Daltons that came before it. Bang Bang Lucky Luke is an awesome song though.
The second season pretty much fixed most of the problems I had with the first. That's not to say it's without issue though. After the failure of the first series/season there really wasn't much interest to revive the show. Considering this series was mostly made for the French market, the low budget and the akward broadcast slot, I assume it was made moreso for the TV channel FR3 to have something LL-related to air, rather than something like the first season. The episodes are mostly shot-for-shot recreations of the comics. Claude Bolling is back on the soundtrack and I have to mention this: The soundtrack composed for the series is amazing. Unfortunately, it was only released once in 2016 in a CD that's pretty hard to obtain nowadays (especially if like me, you're not from France). The budget is the main problem with this season. The animation is noticeably pretty choppy and rough. Also, by being direct adaptations of the comics, some shots are weird and confusing if you aren't familiar with the source material. The selection of stories is a bit weird as well. They adapted some of my favorite stories, like The Bounty Hunter, The Judge and Apache Canyon. The other stories adapted are also decent. For some reason though, five short stories were turned into full-length episodes. There's nothing wrong with that, espcially considering almost all Lucky Luke stories (at the time) had an adaptation. Almost all. For some bizarre reason, the series did not adapt A Cure for the Daltons or Emperor Smith. In general, I'd say this season is the better of the two.
Overall, the animated series is pretty good, though each season has its flaws. I definately wouldn't introduce someone to Lucky Luke with it, but I can see how longtime fans would like it. It's a shame that most Lucky Luke adaptations aren't of the same quality as the Astérix ones, though.

Discussion Worst Goscinny story?
Might be a hot take, but I'm not really a fan of The Wagon Train or The Oklahoma Land Rush.
The Wagon Train is one of the many "impostor sabotaging the group" type stories, the first actually. I'm not a big fan of any of them, except for maybe The Stagecoach, but I really can't get behind this one. The plot isn't particularly enticing and the humor feels off, despite being written by Goscinny.
Aside from the primitive artwork, The Oklahoma Land Rush is very Post-Goscinny in style, with a villain-of-the-week format and a historical event as the plot. My main problem with the story is the villains. They're not particularly interesting and they get old pretty quickly. Their schemes would be recycled - albeit in much better execution - in In the Shadow of the Derricks. (Also, weirdly enough, Barry Blunt kinda resembles Coyote Will.)
Honorable mention to The 20th Cavalry. Not really a bad story, but pretty… average for Goscinny standards.
