Cinebook The 9th Art: Lucky Luke 37- Fingers

Damn. I was hoping for the latest Thorgal but Lucky Luke is similar…not!

“Fingers” is a magician—a really, really good one. When his unfortunate kleptomania sends him to jail, he meets the Daltons and soon escapes with them. After Lucky Luke puts everyone back behind bars, he takes pity on Fingers’ unfortunate tendencies and agrees to try to rehabilitate him. A daunting, frustrating task, for confusing and complicating matters is second nature to a magician. Riding off into the sunset is going to be a difficult trick this time!

Everything you expect from Lucky Luke -gags, vizual humour and more. I keep thinking the covers are very “underplayed” or minimalist but they really do work a treat. I still find it hard to believe this is Luke’s 37th volume with Cinebook.

As always -one for kids of all ages!!
