Covering the years 1957 to 1959, this fifth volume of the Complete Collection brings together in its 144 pages three volumes that truly open the golden age of the Morris-Goscinny team. In The Judge, the new writer adopts the tradition of introducing historical characters - here Judge Roy Bean.

As for The Oklahoma Land Rush, it''s based on historical events, another future tradition of the series. Finally, The Daltons'' Escape sees the return of the Dalton cousins, and the beginning of a long and distinguished career as recurring villains. Comic history being written, now in hardback format!This third volume in the collection brings us to the very edge of absolute greatness, with two later, far more mature solo outings - Doc Doxey''s Elixir (including Manhunt) and Phil Wire (including Lucky Luke and Pill) were first published in 1955 and 1956, and already Luke was much closer to the cowboy that we now have in mind - followed by Rails on the Prairie, the first collaboration between Morris and Goscinny, that would usher in 30 years of a legendary collaboration.

These stories are prefaced by a staggering 46 pages of extra material - biographies, essays, interviews, illustrations - that will delight every fan.
