The First Transcontinental Railroad is stopped dead near its starting point, both in the East and in the West. Repeated injunctions from the president of the “Transcontinental Railroad” are having no effect: His workers are constantly prevented from working by agents of a mysterious traitor. But Lucky Luke witnesses one of the acts of sabotage and stops it. Soon, he is in charge of security for the entire westward push—and he will have his work cut out for him!


Thirty-two. When you have now had 32 volumes of Lucky Luke published in the English language you know the character is far more popular in the UK than anyone guessed!  And what is more Cinebook has achieved a record because no one else has even gotten up to volume 5 before now in English (if they have I’m sure I’ll be corrected).

The original Dargaud edition of this was published in..1971.  But looking at the cover and the crisp interior art you would be forgiven for thinking this was new! So, for all of you who said “they’ll only publish about four of the books and that’ll be it!” :-p
