The Daltons (Lucky Luke) - The Original Gang's Appearance

The Original Gang's Appearance

The "real" Daltons — Bob, Grat, Bill and Emmett — appear in the Lucky Luke adventure "Hors-la-loi" written and drawn by Morris in 1951. Morris drew them absolutely identical in everything but height, which varied from Bob, the smallest and most dangerous, to the tallest Emmett. At the end of the story the Daltons were all killed in a raid the town of Coffeyville, Kansas where two of the real-life Daltons, Bob and Grat, were also killed (In real life, Emmett was wounded in the Coffeyville shootout and subsequently jailed, and Bill Dalton did not take part in the raid).
