Hi guys i would like to read the comics in a cronological order but I can not find a websit speaking about publications. Can you guys help me?

For those unaware, the Lucky Luke animated series had a 26-episode run, produced in 1984 by Hanna-Barbara. A second season, also featuring 26 episodes, was produced by Studio IDDH in 1991. Due to a difference in tone and animation, many classify the second season as a seperate series (not too dissimilar to Batman: The Animated Series).

Regarding the show's first season, my feelings are pretty mixed. I know many people grew up with it and are feeling nostalgic, so did I. However, this season suffers from many issues, most likely caused by Hanna-Barbera. The series was produced in an attempt to bring Lucky Luke out of Europe and give him worldwide appeal. As such, the series tried to match the lighthearted and childish tone of most American cartoons at the time. The series and the stories adapted were dumbed-down and opted for a cartoonish tone, aimed at young kids. Beer was changed to lemonade, guns were barely used and at the end of the episode characters would make amends with eachother. This is something that I, in my opinion, take issue with. I'm not going to pretend like the original comics were these dark, mature, graphic and adult masterpieces. They were silly comics for kids. However, Goscinny knew how to make the stories endearing and pleasing for all ages. Reading Lucky Luke now, you'd be surprised at how funny and engaging the stories get. Most of these elements are gone and replaced by (bad) generic slapstick comedy. I also find the censorship unnecessary. While there were aspects that needed to be fixed, like Luke smoking or the racial stereotypes, a lot of the chanages were frankly uncalled for. Why aren't kids allowed to know alcohol exists? Why are the villians friendly towards Luke in the end? I recall an interview with Morris where he talked about how they wanted to remove the undertakers from the show, something he could not allow. Most of these changes were pointless, since the point of the show was to sell the comics, which mind you contained these elements. I was surprised to see The Tenderfoot adapted, since I thought they would want to distance themselves from the aspect of death present in that story. I'm not saying all of this to disregard the entire series, I personally really like it. Most of the episodes, minus those featuring the Daltons, are fine enough adaptations of the source material. However these changes are enough for the series to rank lower compared to Daisy Town and The Ballad of the Daltons that came before it. Bang Bang Lucky Luke is an awesome song though.

The second season pretty much fixed most of the problems I had with the first. That's not to say it's without issue though. After the failure of the first series/season there really wasn't much interest to revive the show. Considering this series was mostly made for the French market, the low budget and the akward broadcast slot, I assume it was made moreso for the TV channel FR3 to have something LL-related to air, rather than something like the first season. The episodes are mostly shot-for-shot recreations of the comics. Claude Bolling is back on the soundtrack and I have to mention this: The soundtrack composed for the series is amazing. Unfortunately, it was only released once in 2016 in a CD that's pretty hard to obtain nowadays (especially if like me, you're not from France). The budget is the main problem with this season. The animation is noticeably pretty choppy and rough. Also, by being direct adaptations of the comics, some shots are weird and confusing if you aren't familiar with the source material. The selection of stories is a bit weird as well. They adapted some of my favorite stories, like The Bounty Hunter, The Judge and Apache Canyon. The other stories adapted are also decent. For some reason though, five short stories were turned into full-length episodes. There's nothing wrong with that, espcially considering almost all Lucky Luke stories (at the time) had an adaptation. Almost all. For some bizarre reason, the series did not adapt A Cure for the Daltons or Emperor Smith. In general, I'd say this season is the better of the two.

Overall, the animated series is pretty good, though each season has its flaws. I definately wouldn't introduce someone to Lucky Luke with it, but I can see how longtime fans would like it. It's a shame that most Lucky Luke adaptations aren't of the same quality as the Astérix ones, though.

As it happens, a childhood memory randomly entered my head in the last few days. I'm half-remembering an old Lucky Luke snippet, probably an intro or outro, that was pretty weird/trippy, it's basically the Daltons repeating the phrase "Lucky Luke" over and over, with the camera zooming out and the clip of the Daltons mulitplying with each repetition of the phrase.

I was probably watching in on german TV sometime in the early 2000s, it was definitely still in 2D animation, but of course it's possible that the clip is much older. I was searching for it, but couldn't find it anywhere online. I don't know from which movie or show it was exactly, and it's possibly it's not even an intro or an outro, but a scene from a movie or a series or just some promotion material?

Anyways, I can't be the only one who saw it and was hoping that someone else remembered it and could maybe provide a link?

Definitely not as good as the old volumes but still solid I‘d say.„A Cowboy in Paris“ probably being my favourite outta those.

What is your opinion on this show? This is the show that I grew up with and got me into Lucky Luke, so for only that i love it already. But it has great story telling and call backs too. Like how doctor Elixer from the books appeared in the episode "War of Medics".

In English

We mostly see him in nothing Gulch but a lot of people say that he is far away from home, sherlock, his song, etc. So where is his home?

I believe the context is that lucky Luke has to duel a Dalton brother (I think Averell) who ends up being tired in the morning because he's been swatting at a mosquito all night.

I might be misremebering details.

FR where does he get the money from??? 😭

Hi everyone! I have vivid memory of a scene from an album I've read as a child where Lucky Luke and his horse took turns sleeping while riding. I'd love to read this episode again but I can't find it...

Hey guys ☺️ I've been looking at German and French webshops for Lucky Luke movies.

I only speak english and I'm having a hard time figuring out if the different releases have subtitles in english?

I really need the 2009 live action movie and the classic feature length cartoons (Daisy Town etc.).

Hello! I was helping my niece with a math problem and I got really frustrated, and I had a flashback from an old lucky Luke comic that really described how I feel and now I want to see it 😁 So I don’t remember the story, but the daltons were trying to split some money and one of them was doing long division and then got pissed off and shot it with a pistol then they weighed the money instead. I felt like shooting that homework 😂

Does it ring a bell ? Been decades and memory is funny

Thanks!
