Why it never caught in america?
Michael Flores
Noah Wright
Because it wasnt distributed and advertised when cowboys were trending.
And after that cowboys never got mainstream again.
Nathaniel Walker
In the same vein, do people outside of Europe (or even France ?) know about Les Tuniques Bleues? I don't remember seeing it discussed here
Daniel Thompson
There are actual official albums released, so somewhat(like 12 albums of Bluecoats).
Though I first became aware of the series by playing North and South in the Amiga
Grayson Ortiz
Cowboys were huge in the 40s and 50s when it was first being published, I think it had more to do with America being completely saturated with its own cowboy media at the time.
Aiden Gray
They were quite popular here in Scandinavia.
Owen Kelly
After Blazing Saddles the US experienced a "cowboy fatigue". There were more than 50 western shows in the spawn of a decade and half. We didn't have that kind of exausting push in Europe so cowboys remained a popular but not dominating genre, and there's an exotic element to it for us. If an american ever wonders what it's like to be exotified, they should look into european western media, both comics and spaghetti movies.
Lucky Luke is freaking great, btw. It gets very creative with stories despite having a perfect protagonist, and he's very likeable. Do you like the Xilam show, OP?
Owen Jenkins
This, back then there was a ton of over saturation on cowboys those days. In Europe this comic strip was popular because the concept was foreign to them.
Easton Morris
Or this shit, a super fucking popular Norwegian western novel series
en.wikipedia.org
Those 41 books that got translated into English isn't even half the series. The guy is crazy popular and just as much a household name here as Spider-man.
Austin Cook
the new adventures of lucky luke yes
i would like to mention asterix and obelix too
Jaxson Mitchell
Same for Tex here in Italy!
Xavier Phillips
Tex is really popular here in Noeway too. As is Lucky Luke.
Guess there's something about Norway and cowboys.
Colton Cruz
Asterix and Obelix had several attempts at breaking into the American market but consistently failed, I'm not even entirely sure why because as an American myself I love those comics.

Mason Richardson
Oh, and Blueberry was huge here too. Do burgers know him?
Jaxon Martinez
The setting probably doesn't have much appeal. It's very hard for non-superhero comics that are E-rated to gain any popularity in the US in general, even Smurfs is known as a cartoon and not a comic first
Leo Gutierrez
I can't find New Adventures subbed, they always give European cartoons the worst/cheapest voices in English.
Cameron Foster
Dubs are cancer in general.
Luis Adams
Jacob Thompson
Am Scandi, have almost all issues. It's my favourite eurocomic besides Valhalla.
Juan Turner
Comics in general aren't a very popular medium in the states. The grand majority only know superheroes from movies and games.I'm American and I've talked to multiple people who had no idea comics were even still produced.
Joseph Price
We're getting a nice hardcovercollection of the series here in Norway now. They're a bit over halfway done:

James Rogers
My favourite issue is the nurse/crossdressing one
Camden Bailey
How problematic.
Mason Jackson
I like the fact that there are lots of girls on DeviantArt who are fetishizing Daltons
John Campbell
Herligt! Do you know if it contains any extra material?
Kayden Ramirez
The New Adventures of Lucky Luke is based and redpilled
Carter Russell
gay and cringepilled
Jackson Myers
Jonathan Thompson

I'm a Finn, can speak some Swedish and know that "slut" means "end", but it will never cease to amaze me.
Camden Young
wrong file sorry
