Lucky Luke is a charming and fearless lone cowboy of the American Wild West. He is a true hero, even a superhero, honest and just, defending all the weak and helpless. He always stands on the side of the law, helping local authorities fight against bandits and other villains. Like a true superhero, he has his own superpower: shooting faster than his own shadow! Each story about Lucky Luke is an exciting and highly informative comedic western, reflecting real events related to the exploration of the Wild West. This time, a luminary of psychiatry from Europe, Professor Otto von Himbergaist, arrives in a small Texas town. In one of the prisons, he intends to meet with the most incorrigible bandits to permanently cure them of criminal tendencies using his own methodology. Lucky Luke is tasked with accompanying the professor and providing him with all possible assistance. And the test subjects become Luke's longtime acquaintances - the Dalton brothers. Comics about Lucky Luke are designed for a wide audience. Both children and older readers will be delighted with the adventurous plot, virtuoso caricature drawing, gentle irony, and humor in every frame. The humor, usually based on wordplay and comedy of situations, never stoops to vulgarity. Despite the fact that the characters often brandish guns and shoot, there is no rudeness or violence in these stories. The main character shoots only to skillfully disarm opponents with accurate shots. And the opponents, of course, always miss. It can be confidently said that in no story does any character come to harm. Except for bruises and bumps that the negative characters periodically deserve. It is worth noting the convenient large font for reading, thanks to which comics about Lucky Luke are suitable for beginner readers and will be the first step towards reading novels by 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 Rene Goscinny, well known to Russian readers for the series of stories "Little Nicholas" and for the Asterix comics, where he also served as a writer.
