(W) Rene Goscinny (A/CA) Jean Tabary Iznogoud's usual flair for catastrophe, in one-page gags! We've all played that game. 'Well, if I were in charge...' We've all imagined what we'd do if we were president of this or minister of that. For Iznogoud, though, it's not just a game. As Grand Vizier, he can pretty much decide that he will be anything he wants to... except Caliph, of course. But, since it's Iznogoud, every single one of his decisions is inevitably going to go astray and bring disaster - and that's how we like it!

(W) Rene Goscinny (A/CA) Morris After the heavily cartoon- and slapstick cinema-inspired first adventures, Morris turned towards the tradition of Westerns to flesh out his hero's world. In Under a Western Sky, Lucky Luke versus Pat Poker and Outlaws there is a lot of Hollywood and John Ford, and while Luke hasn't quite settled into his current look, he's certainly closer to the phlegmatic cowboy we know and love. Outlaws also marks the first appearance of the Daltons; the historical Dalton brothers here, who will later return as their decidedly stupider cousins. Throw in 48 pages of extra material on Morris's experience in the United States, and this is a book you won't want to miss.

(W) Rene Goscinny (A/CA) Morris A cowboy who shoots faster than his own shadow, his sarcastic horse - this is the Old West at its funniest. The fourth volume of the Complete Collection contains three full titles. While The Bluefeet are Coming! was penned by Morris himself, Lucky Luke vs. Joss Jamon and The Dalton Cousins are the results of the legendary partnership between Morris and Goscinny, and the genius writer's talent shines through even in the team's early efforts - which here include the first appearance of those who would soon become the most infamous (and stupidest) bandits in the Old West!

(W) Rene Goscinny (A/CA) Morris A cowboy who shoots faster than his own shadow, his sarcastic horse - this is the Old West at its funniest. The fifth volume of the Complete Collection brings together three volumes that truly open the golden age of the Morris-Goscinny team. In The Judge, the new writer adopts the tradition of introducing historical characters, here Judge Roy Bean. As for The Oklahoma Land Rush, it's based on historical events, another future tradition of the series. Finally, The Daltons' Escape sees the return of the Dalton cousins, and the beginning of a long and distinguished career as recurring villains.

(W) Rene Goscinny (A/CA) Morris A lawyer visits the Daltons in prison to explain that an uncle has bequeathed a fortune to them, but that they will only have access to it after shooting every member of the jury who sentenced him to hang - and that in front of a very specific witness: Lucky Luke. One prison escape later, the four brothers are riding hard with a list of men to kill - and a more or less captive Lucky Luke intent on making their task impossible!

(W) Rene Goscinny & Various (A) Morris The Old West was full of itchy trigger fingers, but also had its share of hemp necktie enthusiasts. Lucky Luke is not a fan of such summary justice, and when he interrupts an improvised hanging with no less than three ropes for a single man, he runs afoul of an unpleasant individual with a knack for manipulating bored and drunk crowds. Seven short stories by Goscinny and his friends and illustrated by Morris himself - pure Lucky Luke concentrate!
