Dalton's Healing
"Lucky Luke," along with "Tintin" and "Asterix," is one of the three most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world. The series has sold over 300 million copies worldwide. "Lucky Luke" has already been translated into more than 25 languages, and it's finally available in Russian! Lucky Luke is a charming and fearless lone cowboy during the early days of the American Wild West. He's a true hero, even a superhero, honest and fair, a protector of the weak and helpless. He always stands on the side of the law, helping local authorities fight bandits and other villains. Like a true superhero, he has his own superpower: he can shoot faster than his own shadow! Each Lucky Luke story is a gripping and highly educational comedy western, reflecting real events associated with the development of the Wild West. This time, a leading European psychiatrist, Professor Otto von Himbergeist, arrives in a small Texas town. He intends to meet with the most incorrigible gangsters in a prison and, using his own methods, cure them of their criminal tendencies once and for all. Lucky Luke is assigned to accompany the professor and provide him with all necessary assistance. Their test subjects are Luke's old acquaintances, the Dalton brothers. The Lucky Luke comics are designed for a wide audience. Both children and older readers will be delighted by the adventurous plot, masterful caricatures, and the gentle irony and humor found in literally every frame. The humor, typically based on wordplay and sitcom principles, never strays below the belt. And despite the characters constantly waving pistols and going bang-bang, these stories are free of coarseness and violence. The protagonist shoots only to knock the weapons out of his opponents' hands with a well-aimed shot. And the opponents, naturally, always miss. It's safe to say that not a single character is harmed in any of the stories. Except for the occasional well-deserved bruises and bumps the villains earn. Particularly noteworthy is the easy-to-read, large font, making the Lucky Luke comics suitable for beginning readers and a first step toward reading the novels of Fenimore Cooper and Mayne Reid. The creators of Lucky Luke are two brilliant humorists: Belgian artist Maurice de Bever, who worked under the pseudonym Morris, and Frenchman René Goscinny, well known to Russian readers for his "Little Nicolas" series of stories and the Asterix comics, for which he also served as screenwriter.
