About the Author
Morris, the legendary Belgian comics artist born Maurice De Bévère in 1923, revolutionized the Western genre in bande dessinée with his iconic creation Lucky Luke, the lonesome cowboy who outdraws his own shadow. Debuting in 1946, Lucky Luke quickly became a global phenomenon, spawning over 80 albums filled with satirical adventures, sharp humor, and vivid illustrations that captured the spirit of the American Old West. Morris's meticulous attention to historical detail and expressive character designs earned him international acclaim, including collaborations with writers like René Goscinny. Throughout his career, he produced timeless tales of outlaws, sheriffs, and frontier life, cementing his legacy as a master storyteller in sequential art until his passing in 2001.
