{{trope}}

A Franco-Belgian School [[The Western|Western]] comic, it was created in 1946 by graphic artist Morris, who at first did both art and writing. It began as a semi-serious comic with a rugged cowboy hero, lots of gunplay and occasional almost-onscreen deaths. Then, from 1955 to 1977, the writing was taken over by ''[[Asterix]]'' creator [[Rene Goscinny]] and the comic turned into an unabashed [[Affectionate Parody]] of the whole western genre. Around the same time, the authors dropped all pretense of portraying the protagonist as a realistic cowboy and turned him into a [[The Drifter|Drifter]]/[[The Gunslinger|Gunslinger]] type whose fame and skill often made him the US Government's last resort when it came to particularly tricky situations (much to his annoyance).
