Although Lucky Luke is somewhat known here in the US, like its similarly formatted compatriots like Tintin and Asterix, it sells like gangbusters in the rest of the free world, especially in Europe. Strangely enough, Luke has not been translated in English as frequently as the aforementioned titles, which accounts for its lack of a following in the US. Luke has another connection with Asterix in that the earlier tales were penned by Rene Goscinny. Typically at the end of each story, Lucky Luke rides off alone into the sunset, singing “I'm a Poor Lonesome Cowboy.”
