Man, I never realized there was a Lucky Luke film and TV series. Thanks, Booksteve, for setting me straight. I wish those of us in the U.S. could see it--not to mention all those Asterix movies--on DVD.
The LUCKY LUKE series was available on VHS in this country a few years afer it ran elsewhere. I used to see them at Half Price Books for 3.99 a tape. While Hill easily makes the character his own, purists will be disappointed as visually he looks nothing like in the comic.
