Lucky Luke Adventures: The Grand Duke; paperback; series no. 29

A Russian grand duke embarks on a whirlwind tour of the Wild West under the watchful protection of Lucky Luke, and nothing goes according to plan. From dusty frontier towns to bustling saloons, the noble visitor’s fascination with cowboy culture leads to one unpredictable situation after another. His extravagant tastes, formal manners, and misguided attempts at “blending in” clash hilariously with the rough-and-tumble spirit of the American frontier. Wherever the grand duke travels, chaos follows—leaving Lucky Luke to clean up the mess with his trademark cool-headed charm and lightning-fast reflexes.

As the journey unfolds, the eccentric aristocrat’s misunderstanding of Western life sparks a trail of comic disasters involving outlaws, lawmen, and confused townspeople alike. With humor at every turn, this Wild West adventure delivers classic fish-out-of-water comedy while showcasing the contrast between European nobility and frontier freedom. Fans of Lucky Luke will enjoy the fast-paced action, witty dialogue, and absurd situations that arise when royal elegance meets cowboy grit. This story is a must-read for anyone who loves Western humor, colorful characters, and lighthearted adventure with an international twist.
