The daily life and adventures of a little boy, his family, and his cocker spaniel best friend.

25 DECEMBER NEW 2010 Lucky Luke Vol. 26: The Bounty Hunter • R. Goscinny; illustrated by Morris

A stolen horse, a huge reward, a ruthless bounty hunter and the threat of an Indian war—all in a day’s work for Lucky Luke

When a huge bounty is posted on a Cheyenne man for the apparent theft of a pedigree horse, the bounty hunter Elliot Belt will stop at nothing to pocket it—not even at triggering a new Indian war if he has to. Lucky Luke must juggle keeping him in check, appeasing the irate Cheyenne, and trying to save the suspected thief from Old West-style summary justice. A cheerful homage to the golden age of Hollywood westerns.
