1861. Abraham Lincoln orders that the First Transcontinental Telegraph line, currently interrupted between Nevada and Nebraska, be completed. Two teams, one heading east from Carson City and the other west from Omaha, will meet up in Salt Lake City. Lucky Luke joins the eastbound team. But when a $100,000 reward is offered to the first team to arrive, there’s suddenly more to fear than the natural obstacles of the journey: A saboteur seems to be at work!
I still find it hard to believe that the Lucky Luke series has now had 35 volumes published in English. This is an amazing achievement by Cinebook The 9th Art and if you have youngsters that you want to get into comic reading or just plain reading this series is one you need to start buying.
Even a crusty old goat like me smiles at these and it’s no secret that I was NOT a big admirer of Lucky Luke before these books. We learn as we get older. Hey –a library of Lucky Luke books is good for you…an investment for your kids and even their kids!
Will this involve some crooked politician, some rather naughty cowboys, injuns and a bar scene? You are joking –right? Of course it will!
The cover…that expression on Luke’s face –I wonder if it was similar to the one on my uncle Gunther’s face when he realised he’d sawed through the tree he was sat in while tree felling??
