Review: After years of hesitation, this Lucky Luke title (from 1973) is finally in print in English from Cinebook. Why the endless wait? As the page-long trigger warning (by Cinebook) at the front of this volume points out, it contains stereotypical depictions of Chinese people in the Old West. While the preface does (correctly) assert that Goscinny and Morris could not be described as racist, this somewhat naive apologia really misses the point. Goscinny, who kept his Jewish identity very low-key in mainstream French society, was all too well aware of the stupidity and danger of ethnic stereotyping. In fact, his comic output was largely devoted to parodying ethnic stereotypes -- in his Asterix series, for example, dozens of such stereotypes (French, British, German, Spanish, Belgian, Egyptian, etc.) all come under systematic critique. The important thing to realize is that Goscinny introduces such stereotypes not to convince us of their truth, but to reveal them as mendacious and ultimately ridiculous. (This was made very clear in Goscinny's introduction to the British translation of 'Asterix chez les Bretons,' for example.) If you haven't got that by now, you haven't been paying attention. But perhaps in today's polarized cultural landscape such nuances of interpretation don't cut much ice. Cinebook has still to publish translations of two Lucky Lukes that deal with African-American issues -- 'En remontant le Mississippi,' and the most recent volume 'Un cowboy dans le coton' ... now it appears that they will release English-language versions of these through 2021. In any case, apart from all the controversy, what you have here is a medium-good Lucky Luke from the classic Goscinny period -- funny in parts, but not the funniest of the series.

Review: A standard Lucky Luke adventure, marred only by a repugnant introduction by a pathetic counter culture snowflake.
