Lucky Luke Adventures – serie

In this early adventure of the famous cowboy, Lucky Luke is dealing with one of the plagues of the Old West: quacks. "Doctor" Doxey is a con man, a charlatan who brews up useless elixirs and sells them as miracle cures for every ailment known to man. But he doesn't stop at that and occasionally causes illnesses himself, the better to cure them - a behaviour that does not sit well with Luke...

A gang operating around Nugget City is attacking stage coaches to steal gold shipments. After rescuing the driver of one of them, Lucky Luke arrives in town just in time to stop the murderous intents of a cheat. Pursuing the scoundrel after an epic bar fight, Luke finds out he's a member of the gang, and will have to arrest him and the others before riding on to new adventures on the other side of the Rio Grande.

The Cheyenne are convinced that newly-arrived settlers have been killing the buffalo they traditionally depend on. When the Native Americans surround the 20th Cavalry's fort, Lucky Luke realises that someone who bears a grudge against Colonel McStraggle has conveniently provided them with firearms. Worse, the traitor also knows the layout of the fort. Lucky Luke does his best to try and break the deadlock before the soldiers starve. As in other Lucky Luke volumes, readers discover different aspects of the United States' conquest of the Wild West.
