There are small works of art, wonderful expressions where one less can be expected. This occurs with the lyric Lucky Luke, one of the works in which the genius of Goscinny hand wrote master pages. I will mention here two moments of true genius of this series. One appears in the Grand Duke, when in the middle of a trip to the West, the Russian Grand Duke said drinking champagne in the shoe of a "girl" of dubious reputation, and this woman in your life will be so spoiled for no man goes to confess his true age to Luke, if you look you can guess the blush on his cheeks. The other appears in the tenderfoot, and reflects the more briefly as possible the pain and sorrow of the good cowboy, shaking a little star while rolling a cigarette in the manner of western best says it all with an image not just words. turns again to the Franco-Belgian comics. What is BD? Is it the best in the world?. If not, was among the first in the hierarchy, and as directed production, a priori, at children is one who has, in my eyes, with the greatest diversity. And the adults can read, almost never with a double meaning, but finding a level of documentation and technical perfection out of the ordinary. The BD exceeds American comics in their design. While the U.S. focuses on the newspaper strips and comic-book superheroes, the French and the Belgians have embraced the youth magazine format and the album. In the first we can talk about Petit Spirou Vingtieme or, in the second case of Tintin and Asterix.

The theme of western had a huge spread in the decades of 50 and 60 of the twentieth century. I have spoken of several authors who were devoted to such series as Manara, Pratt, Crepax and Jean Giraud. All with a realistic drawing, but we also talk about otrs authors made using the Wild West series to a wider audience of children, with cartoon drawings, or clear line. None of them have achieved neither fame nor the artistic quality of Lucky Luke.

Morris began drawing at Lucky Luke shortly after World War II, and I can not speak of success, I can only mention that in those early albums that stands out things to come when in 1955 he joined the indent Goscinny series and reach the best artistic results and public. Lucky Luke, the cowboy faster than his shadow, it becomes an icon and is incorporated in its own right to the imagery of pop culture. After the death of René Goscinny, and publication of the last album scripted by him, Morris incorporating new writers to the series. None had the quality of Goscinny, Asterix although unlike the level has been remarkably high.

Morris's life, a pseudonym for Maurice de Bevere, is that of a man devoted to drawing. Not only drew Luke, also sometimes Iznogoud, speaking on Spirou chapters, and as a good worker of comics, comic book, or BD, worked in the editorial piece to push through magazines, publications and papers in peer trouble.

De Goscinny, personal weakness, let me tell you something else. One of the key people in the history of comics, where he practiced all possible trades, from drawing to the script, from printing to publishing, the invention of magazines, the discovery of new values, new patron of artists ... and writer, screenwriter and television presenter. I do not know if he missed being a movie director, but he was not sure what he thought. His personality and his capacity for work was enormous, more than his person, rather than his own physique. While his heart broke down and said enough in 1977. You may not get to know in depth ever, but its a good idea to give human dimension unwavering friendship with Morris and Uderzo, and art, better art, Asterix, Lucky Luke, Iznogoud and Little Nick. This last statement, the series of novels about Nicholas, a French boy from the provinces, illustrated by Sempé, I can only say that it is the tenderness and humor in book, about the best that has been written about the carefree childhood and after reading it must yearn for the innocence lost.

character Luke is not flat, it is a paradigm for all the Western heroes, a mixture of Cooper, Wayne, Fonda, Stewart and anticipation of Eastwood. This is a man of honor, silent, stoic, doer of the law and lover of liberty. With nearly always deadpan, but with emotions. Throughout the series puts a duty on their emotions, but the smart writer never puts in moral dilemma for him or or the reader. Never be unjust to an Indian (Native American), never will be a lynch justice that a criminal will never mistreat an animal.

characters who accompany him are always Rantanplan and Jolly Jumper. The first is a dog, something stupid, parody of Rin Tin Tin. The second is the inseparable companion of the cowboy, his horse, the horse of Attila the Hun or Alexander the Great. With respect to horses, there is something curious, are the same figures in Asterix and Lucky Luke. And here something happens, a personal theory or Goscinny was responsible for it in the two series, or one of the artists made them for both. And then there are Dalton Brothers, outlaws and the sworn enemies of Luke, involved in a heinous movie.

to finish. In this series there are all topics of the western, the struggle of farmers and ranchers, the young cavalry officer who wants to look good in front of his father, an officer of the Regiment, the struggle of Indians for their sacred lands, the colonization of west of the West ... As in other series, the final bullet point, it becomes a trademark. Here is a lone cowboy riding into the setting sun reddens an infinite plain. A poem to liberty, a poem on the solitude of a corazón roto.

I'm a poor lonesome cowboy
I've a long long way from home
And this poor lonesome cowboy
Has got a long long way to home
Over mountains and over prairies
From dawn 'til day is done
My horse and me keep riding
Into this settin' sun
I'm a poor lonesome cowboy
But it doesn't bother me
'Cause this poor lonesome cowboy
Prefers a horse for company
Bot nothing against women
But I wave them all goodbye
My horse and me keep riding
We don't like being tied
Lonesome cowboy
You've a long long way to go
To go ...
To go.
