Description

This volume is a comic book from the "Lucky Luke" series, titled "Les Cousins Dalton" (The Dalton Cousins) and numbered 12, as indicated at the top of the cover. The album is published by Dupuis, a mention visible at the bottom of the cover. The front cover features a colorful drawing typical of Morris's style, with a vibrant blue sky in the background, four caricatured characters lined up and walking, dressed in green shirts, blue pants, and gray cowboy hats. To the right, an iconic Lucky Luke character, wearing his classic outfit (yellow shirt, red scarf), stands at the door of a saloon, whose "SALOON" sign is clearly legible. The whole is protected by a glossy film, offering a smooth and slightly reflective appearance.

The title "Les Cousins Dalton" appears largely on a yellow band at the top of the cover, with dynamic red typography. The cover illustration evokes the humorous and Western universe specific to the Lucky Luke series, with a wooden saloon facade decor, a suspended lantern, and a lively scene full of movement. The author's name, Morris, is printed at the bottom right of the illustration.

The yellow spine, visible on the left, indicates a hardback binding, typical of Dupuis albums from the 1980s. The general condition visible in the photo shows a well-preserved album: the cover is clean, the colors remain vibrant, and no major defects are observable on the front (no tears, no apparent chips, slightly marked upper corners).

The graphic elements and general aesthetic are characteristic of Dupuis editions from the 1980s, which corresponds to the "1986" mention in the keywords. The standard format of the European comic book album is identifiable, even if no precise dimensions are displayed.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The front cover has a nice sheen and strong colors. Slight signs of use visible on the upper corners, with no apparent missing parts or snags on the front. The rest of the album is not visible in the photo.

Did you know? "Les Cousins Dalton" is the twelfth album in the Lucky Luke series, written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Morris. It was first published in 1958 in Spirou magazine before being released as an album by Dupuis. The Daltons are presented here in a new form, distinct from their famous criminal cousins.
