In 1860, getting from Missouri to
California on the West Coast took a long, long time – not to mention a
certain degree of courage. Annoyed at the delay in communication, the
federal government offers a grant to whoever can solve the problem and
set-up a fast, reliable mail system linking East and West. In response,
entrepreneur W.H. Russell founds the Pony Express company: fearless men
riding day and night, changing horses at way stations. But not everyone
likes that idea…Still incredible to believe that Lucky Luke has seen its 46th volume published -proving that it must be one of Cinebooks best series. But 46 volumes in English! Wow.
All the slap-stick humour and gags are here and the series has certainly won me over (I was NOT an LL fan before these editions). A good read for kids, a family or an adult who just likes funny, well drawn comics!
