| Additional information |
Part of Monnaie de Paris's ongoing "La BD immortelle" series celebrating Franco-Belgian comic strip heritage, Lucky Luke was created by Belgian cartoonist Maurice De Bevere — known as Morris — in 1946, first appearing in the Belgian journal Almanach Spirou. The series has sold over 300 million albums worldwide, making it one of the best-selling European comics of all time.
René Goscinny, later of Astérix fame, co-wrote the series from 1955 until his death in 1977.
