MORRIS and GOSCINNY (René). — Lucky Luke. The Daltons in the Blizzard. Marcinelle-Charleroi, Éditions Dupuis, 1965. In-4, softcover with publisher’s illustrations, square spine, 46 color plates. Lucky Luke Collection, No. 22. First edition in album format of this Lucky Luke adventure, illustrated by Morris based on a story by René Goscinny. In this episode, the Dalton brothers escape from prison once again and head for Canada, hoping to evade American justice. Lucky Luke sets off in pursuit across the snow-covered landscapes of the Far North, where the four bandits find themselves in one blunder and misadventure after another. Originally published in the magazine *Spirou* before its release as a graphic novel, *The Daltons in the Blizzard* is part of the golden era of collaboration between Morris and Goscinny. The graphic novel perfectly showcases their shared talent for situational comedy, witty dialogue, and caricatured characters. The cover features the four Daltons rolling down a gigantic snowball while Lucky Luke and Rantanplan look on. Condition: A copy showing some signs of wear, slight scuffing on the covers and edges, as well as small foxing spots on the first few pages. The cover retains its fresh colors.
