5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Western! ..., March 17, 2008

By	Andre Heeger (Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ever thought about the fact that The Daltons must have had a Mom?
Here in Europe the creative team of Morris and Goscinny have millions of fans (sadly, both have passed away). Goscinny also wrote and together with Uderzo developed the Asterix series.
Well, just for a second imagine the Daltons were as stupid as stupid goes. That they always get caught and end up in prison. That they a.l.w.a.y.s. find a way to escape, and that there is Lucky Luke, the man who shoots faster than his shadow.
So, what's this (comic - in the truest sense of the word)book about?
Well, as I said, once again the Daltons escaped and are being chased by Lucky Luke. In an unexpected flash of intelligence, Joe Dalton, the smallest of the gang, has the idea to dress up as their beloved mother. They hide at her place and start a series of bank robberies the West has not seen before...
But don't worry, as always, everything is going to be all right in the end...
If you want a lesson on how to raise your kids you should read this, as should they. And all the others of course.
A great start for those who never heard of Lucky Luke.
