When Lucky Luke arrives, everyone―from the sheriff to the undertaker―is drilling. As soon as a well is opened, the fight begins.

This is another installment in the hugely popular Lucky Luke series. These English-language editions by 9th Cinebook got my 12-year-old hooked into the Lucky Luke series. The books tend to present a historical situation or event (the discovery of oil, the range wars between ranchers and farmers, etc.) in a humorous, yet educational, light. A fun aspect of the Lucky Luke books is Luke's fictional interactions with real-life personalities from the Old West: Billy the Kid, The Dalton Gang, Jesse James, Calamity Jane and others.
Yet another classic Lucky Luke - the plot is really interesting and is set during the days of the gold rush which was followed by the Oil Rush in the US. Graphics are great as always!Good value for money.
Sucks i have to write this review during the whole gulf oil mess. If you want to forget that bad taste of oil left by the gulf oil leak, here is the book to read. Lucky protects oil miners this time with the usual comedies and more. The villain in this book can really get on your nerves. Read it to find out more....
