About the Author

Born and raised in Belgium, Morris moved to the United States in 1946 for six years. There, he worked for MAD magazine and met René Goscinny, with whom he collaborated from 1955 until Goscinny's death in 1977. Xavier Fauche, a well-known figure in French radio, wrote for the French version of Jim Henson's show Fraggle Rock and co-created the cartoon Les Tifous. His enduring cooperation with Jean Léturgie produced eight Lucky Luke titles, followed by the spin-off series Rantanplan (Rin Tin Can) and Kid Lucky.
