UP. CINEBOOK
First published in 1985, La Fiancée de Lucky Luke will no
doubt ruffle many feathers among today’s readers. While it
could be argued that the casual sexism of some of the jokes
is a reflection of Lucky Luke’s times, it is more accurately a
reflection of French and Belgian societies in the 80s. There is
nothing here that is militantly misogynistic, but we urge you
to remember that a comic is a work that is anchored in its own
time, and to view that aspect as a sign of how far we’ve gone
on the road to equality — and how far we still have to go.
