A "Rider only" worthy of the series

"Cavalier alone", the new album of the adventures of Lucky Luke is a nice success. Hand drawings, no problems, the line is clear and unambiguous, in the tradition of the great Morris. The scenario of Pennac and Benacquista, with a very original basic idea, did fly: Dalton indeed decide to split their cards and each player on their sides: Joe continues, irascible, looting banks; William starts in casinos; Jack tries his luck in politics and becomes Averell cook (which is probably the most logical choice of the lot). The first to raise one million dollars will become the new leader of the band. But it was not counting on Lucky Luke (and Jolly Jumper) and Ma Dalton who will in their own way disrupt those plans.

Come Goscinny in its time, with admittedly a little less humorous genius, both writers manage, amusement, cultivate references and eye blink in our time. "Cavalier alone" is a good and Lucky Luke, who does not look back and proves the contrary, that the series still has a bright future.
