Comments

In the French version of the second Comics Lucky Luke kills his doppelganger, which is attenuated in the German translation ( " I got it but only wounded !").

The drawing style of the comics still very different from the later publications, but he had already his ordinary clothes on. The drawing style of the two comics also very different, as Morris was still in the development of his cowboys.

The book was published before the five-year stay in the USA Morris '.

Jolly Jumper, Lucky Luke 's horse, has no voice in this band yet.
