review:
'The Adventures of Kid Lucky: Cowboy in Training' by Achdé is a loving tribute to famous character Lucky Luke, but this time going back to when that character was a kid.
Kid Lucky was found as an abandoned baby in the desert by a cowboy and brought to town. It was soon discovered that he was really lucky. This book shows some of his exploits with other kids in town. From shooting his shadow with a slingshot, to trying to tame wild horses, and unsuccesfully avoiding baths. The life of the old West is caricatured in this collection of short gags featuring a cartoonish bunch of characters.
The character of Lucky Luke was created by cartoonist Morris in 1946 for Spirou magazine. Although the character isn't as well known in the US, it is hugely popular and has cartoons and video games as well as volumes of comics.
This was a fun take on the character as a youngster. The art is very much in the style of Morris and I enjoyed reading it.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
