LUCKY LUKE - SUBINDO O MISSISSIPI (LUCKY LUKE SERIES #16)

En remontant le Mississippi [aka] Travelling up the Mississippi is a Lucky Luke comic written by Goscinny and Morris. It is the sixteenth title in the Lucky Luke Series. The comic was printed by Dupuis in 1961. Both Goscinny and Morris were avid readers of frontier tales and particularly Mark Twain books. This album is culturally significant as it is connected with Mark Twain's experience as a Mississippi steamboat pilot before the American Civil War. The plot and many details like safety-last style of sailing, card sharks aboard, tampering with safety valves, unloading passengers to speed up the ship...etc. are borrowed from the famous (or infamous) 1870 race between paddle steamers Robert E Lee under he command of Capt Cannon and Natchez IV, under Capt Leathers.====https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_remontant_le_Mississippi
