Description

Lucky Luke: Marcel Dalton is an intriguing addition to the Lucky Luke series, created by Belgian cartoonist Morris, with stories written by René Goscinny. This comic book, first published in 1980, shifts the spotlight to one of the less-known members of the notorious Dalton family: Marcel Dalton.

Marcel, unlike his criminal cousins Joe, William, Jack, and Averell, is not interested in lawlessness or robbing banks. Instead, he is portrayed as a well-meaning, albeit somewhat misguided, character who is determined to prove himself to his infamous relatives. While the other Daltons remain true to their villainous ways, Marcel dreams of making his own mark—without resorting to crime. However, his good intentions and attempts to live an honest life are constantly thwarted by the chaotic influence of his cousins, who drag him into their criminal schemes.

In this story, Lucky Luke, the heroic cowboy with a lightning-fast draw, is called upon to stop the Daltons’ plans once again. However, Marcel’s internal conflict between family loyalty and his desire to do good adds depth to the comic, blending humor with a bit of heart.

Marcel Dalton is a delightful and entertaining installment in the series, offering a unique twist on the usual antics of the Daltons while still maintaining the trademark humor and action of Lucky Luke.
