Les Cousins Dalton
Encyclopedia
Les Cousins Dalton is a Lucky Luke
comic written by Goscinny and Morris
. It is the twelfth album in the Lucky Luke Serie. The comic was printed by Dupuis
in 1958.
This album is the first of many Lucky Luke albums to feature the brothers Joe, William, Jack and Averell Dalton
as significant characters (they appear briefly in the previous album Lucky Luke contre Joss Jamon
as part of the jury set out to convict Lucky Luke). Within the Lucky Luke universe, they are cousins of the real-life Dalton Gang
. (The "real" Daltons appeared in, and were killed off, in the earlier album Hors-la-loi
.) As the story begins, the Dalton cousins are rather inept outlaws who aspire to become as notorious as their cousins, and vow to get even with Lucky Luke, the man responsible for their cousins' demise.
