One of the largest

If we talk about the great classics of the Franco-Belgia comic, more or less all names can come to mind: the journalist Tinkle From HergéGalli Asterix y Obelix by René Goscinny e Albert UderzoThe adventurers Spirou y Fantasy From Rob-Zellthe sailor Short maltés From Hugo Prattthe lieutenant Blueberry From Jean-Michel Charlier y Jean Giraudenigmatic Pitufos From Peyo… and this armed man Morris.

We can find everything in our country material rather than remaining in bookstores, but with the yellow shirt gun it was a little more difficult. And it is curious, because this character created in 1946 in the magazine Spirou starred a series for decades that has always been considered very well. In addition, in our country it is well known thanks to the animated adventures that have held children who are today parents, mothers, grandmothers and grandparents attached to television during their childhood.

The Dalton and Western Sampdoria

They were Dalton’s cousins ​​(Joe, William, Jack y Avoll), A chrome change that has not annoyed anyone mostly because of all that these characters have contributed to the comic, compensating the seriousness of the protagonist with a stupid villain who created many comic situations.

Although these four outlaws are a fundamental element of the series, it must be said that in this first volume its presence is limited. But the authors are able to put our cowboy in sufficiently interesting situations in the stories contained so as not to lose the Dalton when they are not out there …

The American Asterix

To a certain extent it would not be too far away to see this cowboy as a kind of Asterex style western. Obviously he has contributed by Goscinny already creates a union bond between them, but it is also that the approach to their respective worlds is certainly very similar. The visual style, the peculiar sense of humor, the obviously extended documentation and the continuous cultural references with which the young reader learns as they have fun are characteristics that both publications share.

In addition to the above historical figures, in this first volume we can also see other tests of the search for legitimacy by the authors by interpreting certain events, such as the arrival of the railway to the American meadows, the presentation of the band presentation of William Quantrill (Where they played Frank y Jesse James), The parody of Phaaly Roy Bean (called “The Judge of the Horca”) and the famous breed of Oklahoma settlers to take their plots on the land of dreams.
