'''''Lucky Luke''''' is a [[Western (genre)|Western]] [[bande dessinée|comic album]] series created by Belgian cartoonist [[Morris (cartoonist)|Morris]] in 1946. Morris wrote and drew the series single-handedly until 1955, after which he started collaborating with French writer [[René Goscinny]]. Their partnership lasted until Goscinny's death in 1977. Afterwards, Morris collaborated with several other writers until his own death in 2001. Since Morris's death, French artist [[Achdé]] has drawn the series, scripted by several successive writers.

The series takes place in the [[American frontier|American Old West]] of the United States. It stars the titular '''Lucky Luke''', a street-smart gunslinger known as the "man who shoots faster than his shadow", and his intelligent horse [[Jolly Jumper]]. Lucky Luke is pitted against various villains, either fictional or inspired by American history or folklore. The most famous of these are [[The Daltons (Lucky Luke)|the Dalton Brothers]], loosely based on the [[Dalton Gang]] of the early 1890s and claimed to be their cousins. The stories are filled with humorous elements parodying the [[Western (genre)|Western genre]].

''Lucky Luke'' is one of the best-known and best-selling comics series in Europe. It has been translated into 30 languages. 82 albums have appeared in the series as of 2022, and 3 special editions/homages, at first published by [[Dupuis]]. From 1968 to 1998 they were published by [[Dargaud]] and then by Lucky Productions. Since 2000 they have been published by Lucky Comics. Each story was first serialized in a magazine: in ''[[Spirou (magazine)|Spirou]]'' from 1946 to 1967, in ''[[Pilote]]'' from 1968 to 1973, in ''Lucky Luke'' in 1974–75, in the French edition of ''[[Tintin (magazine)|Tintin]]'' in 1975–76, and in various other magazines since.

The series has also had adaptations in other media, such as animated films and television series, live-action films, video games, toys, and board games. As of 2022, all 82 books in the series' regular albums are available in English.

==Publication history==
[[File:Morris-Luckyluke1.jpg|left|thumb|First appearance of Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper in ''Arizona 1880'' (1946)]]

Simultaneously a tribute to the mythic Old West and an affectionate [[parody]], the comics were created by Belgian artist Morris, who drew ''Lucky Luke'' from 1946 until his death in 2001. The first ''Lucky Luke'' adventure, ''Arizona 1880'', appeared in the French version of the [[Franco-Belgian comics]] magazine ''[[Spirou (magazine)|Spirou]]'' in October 1946.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Betrand |first1=Christelle et |title=Lucky Luke nouvelle intégrale 1 |date=18 November 2016 |publisher=Dupuis |isbn=978-2-8001-6740-4}}</ref> It later appeared in the ''Almanach'' issue of ''Spirou'' on 7 December 1946.<ref name="BDO-s46">{{cite web|last =BDoubliées | title =Spirou année 1946| url = http://bdoubliees.com/journalspirou/annees/1946.htm| language=fr }}</ref>

After several years of writing the strip himself, Morris began a collaboration with [[René Goscinny]]. He was the series writer during what is considered its golden age, starting with the story {{lang|fr|italic=no|"[[Des rails sur la Prairie]]"}}, published on 25 August 1955 in ''Spirou'', until his death in 1977 (with the exception of {{lang|fr|italic=no|"[[Alerte aux Pieds Bleus]]"}}).<ref>{{cite book |title=Lucky Luke les albums |url=http://www.lucky-luke.com/fr/albums.html |publisher=Lucky Comics |access-date=11 February 2021 |language=fr}}</ref> Ending a long run of serial publications in ''Spirou'', the series was shifted to Goscinny's ''[[Pilote]]'' magazine in 1967 with the story {{lang|fr|italic=no|"[[La Diligence (comics)|La Diligence]]"}}. Later it was taken to [[Dargaud]] publisher.

After the death of Goscinny in 1977, several writers succeeded him: including Raymond "Vicq" Antoine, [[Bob de Groot]], Jean Léturgie and [[Lo Hartog van Banda]]. At the 1993 [[Angoulême International Comics Festival]], ''Lucky Luke'' was given an honorary exhibition.<ref name="lambiekM">{{cite web|last=Lambiek Comiclopedia|title=Morris|url=http://lambiek.net/artists/m/morris.htm}}</ref>
 
After Morris' death in 2001, French artist [[Achdé]] continued drawing new ''Lucky Luke'' stories in collaboration with writers Laurent Gerra, Daniel Pennac and Tonino Benacquista. Since 2016, new albums are scripted by writer Jul.

Lucky Luke comics have been translated into: [[Afrikaans]], [[Arabic language|Arabic]], [[Bengali language|Bengali]], [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Croatian language|Croatian]], [[Czech language|Czech]], [[Danish language|Danish]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], [[English language|English]], [[Estonian language|Estonian]], [[Finnish language|Finnish]], [[German language|German]], [[Greek language|Greek]], [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]], [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]], [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]], [[Italian language|Italian]], [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Polish language|Polish]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Serbian language|Serbian]], [[Slovene language|Slovene]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Swedish language|Swedish]], [[Tamil language|Tamil]], [[Turkish language|Turkish]], [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]], [[Welsh language|Welsh]] and [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]].

==Stories==
===Overview===
Although always described as a [[cowboy]], Luke generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his on-hand resourcefulness and incredible gun prowess. A recurring task is that of capturing the bumbling but menacing gangsters the [[The Daltons (Lucky Luke)|Dalton brothers]], Joe, William, Jack and Averell. He rides [[Jolly Jumper]], "the smartest horse in the world" and is often accompanied by prison guard dog [[Rantanplan|Rin Tin Can]], "the stupidest dog in the universe", a spoof of [[Rin Tin Tin]].

Luke meets many historical Western figures such as [[Calamity Jane]],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Morris |title=A Lucky Luke Adventure 8: Calamity Jane |publisher=Cinebook ltd |year=2018 |isbn=978-1-84918-406-9 |location=Great Britain}}</ref> [[Billy the Kid]], Judge [[Roy Bean]] and [[Jesse James]]'s gang, and takes part in events such as the guarding of [[Wells Fargo]] [[stagecoach]]es, the [[Pony Express]], the building of the [[First Transcontinental Telegraph]], the Rush into the [[Unassigned Lands]] of [[Oklahoma]], the building of the [[Statue of Liberty|Statue of liberty]], and a tour by [[France|French]] actress [[Sarah Bernhardt]]. Some of the books feature a one-page article on the background to the events featured. Goscinny once said that he and Morris tried to base the Lucky Luke adventures on real events whenever possible, but that they would not let the facts get in the way of a funny story.
[[File:Charleroi - station Janson - Les Daltons - 01.jpg|thumb|The Dalton gang]]
The chronology of the albums is deliberately murky, and in most albums no particular year is given. The villains and incidental characters based on real persons lived over most of the mid-to-late-19th century. For example, in the album ''Daily Star'', Lucky Luke meets a young [[Horace Greeley]], prior to his moving to New York in 1831. Judge [[Roy Bean]], who was appointed judge in 1882, appears in another album, and in another album yet, Lucky Luke takes part in the 1892 [[Coffeyville, Kansas|Coffeyville]] shootout against the [[Dalton gang]]. Lucky Luke himself appears unchanged in all stories.

Except in the first few stories, where he shoots and kills Mad Jim and the old Dalton brothers gang in Coffeyville, Luke is never seen to kill anyone, preferring to disarm people by simply shooting weapons out of their hands.

Phil Defer was killed in the first publication in ''Le Moustique'', but in the later album collection, this was changed into a debilitating shoulder wound.

In the final panel of each story, except the earliest, Lucky Luke rides off alone on Jolly Jumper into the sunset, singing (in [[English language|English]]) "I'm a poor lonesome cowboy, and a long way from home...". Luke first said this line in 1949 and it became a tradition afterwards. The song itself is based on a real life cowboy song, collected by [[John Lomax]] in ''Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads''. <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/m/morris.htm|title=Morris|website=lambiek.net|access-date=6 August 2024}}</ref>

===Smoking controversy===
[[File:Lucky Luke-100x100.png|thumb|Lucky Luke's cigarette was replaced with a wisp of straw in 1983.]]
Morris, who had been criticized over Lucky Luke's [[tobacco smoking|cigarette]] for a long time, answered his critics: "the cigarette is part of the character's profile, just like the pipe of [[Popeye]] or [[Maigret]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://whqlibdoc.who.int/whf/1990/vol11-no1/WHF_1990_11(1)_p14-31.pdf |title=World Health Forum Vol 11 1990 footnote Les cahiers de la bande dessinée. No. 43, 1980, p. 11. |access-date=14 February 2012}}</ref> It is claimed that Morris was forced to remove the cigarettes Lucky Luke smokes from his strip and Lucky Luke who "used to be a heavy smoker", had to give up smoking for "commercial reasons", apparently to "gain access to the American market".<ref name=NWO>{{cite web|url=http://whqlibdoc.who.int/whf/1990/vol11-no1/WHF_1990_11(1)_p14-31.pdf |title=World Health Forum Vol 11 1990 |access-date=14 February 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200608/23/eng20060823_295966.html |title=Peopledaily.com.cn |publisher=Peopledaily.com.cn |date=23 August 2006 |access-date=14 February 2012}}</ref><ref name=smoking>{{cite web|author=Harrie Verstappen |url=http://www.thelooniverse.com/strips/luckyluke/luckyluke.html |title=Thelooniverse.com |publisher=Thelooniverse.com |access-date=14 February 2012}}</ref><!-- The review was not the first time a famous cartoon character was forced to give up smoking. Belgian cartoonist Maurice de Bevere replaced his most popular creation Lucky Luke's ubiquitous cigarette with a blade of grass, winning him an award from the World Health Organization in 1988. -->

Morris received an award from the [[World Health Organization]] in 1988 for replacing Luke's omnipresent cigarette with a wisp of straw in the story ''Fingers'' (1983).<ref name=NWO/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2006/08/looney_tunes.html |title=ABCnews.com |publisher=Blogs.abcnews.com |date=22 August 2006 |access-date=14 February 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Surette |first=Tim |url=http://www.tv.com/story/5948.html |title=TV.com |publisher=TV.com |date=21 August 2006 |access-date=14 February 2012 |archive-date=9 March 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100309141624/http://www.tv.com/story/5948.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><!-- In addition to providing structural identification of characters, the act of smoking can be used to narrative effect. -->
In the 2007 animated film ''Tous à l'Ouest: Une aventure de Lucky Luke'', Lucky Luke is seen using what appears to be a [[nicotine patch]] and mentions that before that he had to "chew on a piece of straw for a while" right after he quit smoking. In the 1994 story ''Le Pont sur le Mississippi'' (''The Bridge Over the Mississippi''), he is seen rolling a cigarette again, although he claims it was just to hide his boredom. And in ''Sarah Bernhardt'' (1982), when Bernhardt's cook lights a fire to make a cake, despite Luke's strict orders not to, Luke is seen rolling a cigarette in an irate mood. He then strikes a match, only for it to be blown out by Jolly Jumper, who reminds him of his own "no fire" orders.

== Spin-off series ==
A spin-off series called ''[[Rantanplan]]'' and starring Luke's dimwitted canine sidekick began in 1987. It has been written over the years by several successive teams of writers and artists. The character also got a 76-episode animated television series in 2006.

A second spin-off series called ''Kid Lucky'' was created in 1995, aimed at attracting a younger readership. This starred Luke as a little boy, a format that had been very popular with [[Spirou (character)|Spirou]]. Two albums starring this version of the character were released as part of the main series: ''Kid Lucky'' and ''Oklahoma Jim''. These were credited to veteran writer Jean Léturgie and unknown artist Pearce, who was later revealed to be a joint pen name for Yann Lepennetier and [[Didier Conrad]]. The series was scrapped due to poor sales and the two albums removed from the official list of Lucky Luke albums. The series was however re-launched in 2011 as ''Les aventures de Kid Lucky d'après Morris'', with Achdé now solely in charge of it. To date, Achdé has written four Kid Lucky albums, ''L'apprenti Cow-boy'', ''Lasso périlleux'', ''Statue Squaw'' and ''Suivez la flèche'', released in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017, respectively. In June 2020, It was announced ''Kid Lucky'' will be adapted into an animated series.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/europe/media-participations-av-preps-kid-lucky-living-with-dad-for-m6-kids/|title = Média-Participations AV Preps 'Kid Lucky,' 'Living with Dad' for M6 Kids|date = 18 June 2020}}</ref>

Apart from the collections mentioned below, Lucky Luke comics were published in British comic book magazines such as ''Film Fun Comic'' or ''[[Giggle Comics|Giggle]]'' (in 1967). The ''[[Giggle Comics|Giggle]]'' version had Luke's name changed to "'''Buck Bingo'''".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/?p=8336 |title=Lucky Luke as "Buck Bingo" on the Forbidden Planet International Blog Log |publisher=Forbiddenplanet.co.uk |date=15 July 2008 |access-date=14 February 2012}}</ref>

Brockhampton Press Ltd, Leicester, began publishing the books in hardcover and softcover, with six titles from 1972 to 1974, translated by Frederick W Nolan. Brockhampton became part of Hodder & Stoughton Ltd in 1976, and under their children's imprint, Knight Books, Hodder published mini-sized paperback editions of the first six books, in 1976 to 1977. In 1980 and 1982, Hodder & Stoughton published three new titles as Hodder Dargaud, as well as reprints of the previous six.

[[Cinebook Ltd]] have been publishing English language translations of Lucky Luke in [[softcover]] album format since 2006. One new volume is released every two months. In India only, Euro Books, a division of Euro Kids International Ltd. published English versions of 24 Lucky Luke titles in 2009.

In 2019, Cinebook began releasing a hardcover collection of ''Lucky Luke'', published in chronological order featuring three to four original albums per volume together with a vast amount of extras included, titled ''[[Lucky Luke – The Complete Collection]]''.

Cinebook also published translations of the two Matthieu Bonhomme homages: ''Wanted Lucky Luke'' (2016) and ''The Man Who Shot Lucky Luke'' (2021). ''Untamed'' by Blutch was published in 2024.

===Television===
In 1983, [[Hanna-Barbera]] Productions, [[France 3]], [[Gaumont Film Company]], Extrafilm Berlin and Morris collaborated to produce the animated TV series ''[[Lucky Luke (1984 TV series)|Lucky Luke]]'', which ran for 26 episodes and was based on original album stories. The series' main voice actors were [[William Callaway]] as Lucky Luke, [[Robert Ridgely]] as Jolly Jumper, [[Paul Reubens]] as Bushwack, [[Frank Welker]] as Joe Dalton, [[Rick Dees]] as Jack Dalton, [[Fred Travalena]] as William Dalton, [[Bob Holt (actor)|Bob Holt]] as Averell Dalton, and [[Mitzi McCall]] as Ma Dalton. Additional voices were provided by [[Peter Cullen]], [[Pat Fraley]], [[Barbara Goodson]], and [[Mona Marshall]].

In 1990, a new animated series of 26 episodes was produced by IDDH, with the collaboration of Morris, based on album stories not adapted in the prior series.

The 1992 live-action Italian television series, ''[[Lucky Luke (1992 TV series)|Lucky Luke]]'', also known as ''The Adventures of Lucky Luke'', was based on the films of the previous year and again starred Terence Hill.

In 2001, [[Xilam]] produced the 52-episode animated series {{lang|fr|Les Nouvelles aventures de Lucky Luke}} (''[[The New Adventures of Lucky Luke]]''). It was made available on an eight-disc DVD set with French and English audio tracks. This series also featured Colonel [[George Armstrong Custer|Custer]], who is an Indian-hater and a dwarf in this incarnation. Unlike the two earlier animated series, this series featured original stories.

Xilam produced two further animated series involving Lucky Luke: ''Rintindumb'' (2006) and {{illm|The Daltons (TV series)|lt={{lang|fr|cat=no|Les Dalton}}|fr|Les Dalton (série télévisée d'animation)}} (2010).

In 1993, French rapper [[MC Solaar]] released his song {{lang|fr|italic=no|"Nouveau Western"}} with references to Lucky Luke and the [[The Daltons (Lucky Luke)|Daltons]].

Lucky Luke is also referenced in the 2010 [[Obsidian Entertainment]]-developed and [[Bethesda Softworks]]-published video game ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]''. Posters appear in the game, as well as in some loading screens, stating "There's a new sheriff in town and he's looking for deputies ... Become a part of the human dignity bloc". Accompanying this text is an image of a frontier-era [[sheriff]] doing a [[finger gun]] motion with both hands. Aside from the star-shaped sheriff badge he wears, the sheriff is dressed identically to Lucky Luke, sporting his trademark white hat, yellow shirt, black vest, and red bandana tied around his neck.

In 2015, Danish [[reggaeton]] band Camilo & Grande released a single titled "Lucky Luke", in which they liken their lives to that of Lucky Luke.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Agergaard|first1=Rose|date=2 October 2015|title=Hele verden rider med Camilo & Grande i ny musikvideo|trans-title=The whole world rides with Camilo & Grande in their new music video|url=http://gaffa.dk/nyhed/99968|website=Gaffa.dk|publisher=Gaffa|access-date=12 December 2022|language=da|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170907133749/http://gaffa.dk/nyhed/99968|archive-date=2017-09-07}}</ref>
