Morris's Lonely Western Hero
For 80 years, he’s been riding off into the sunset after every adventure: Lucky Luke, the man who draws faster than his shadow. To mark the anniversary of the legendary comic-book cowboy, the Museum for Communication in Berlin is paying a major tribute to his creator, Maurice de Bevere, also known as Morris.

Lucky Luke: Morris’s Lone Western Hero
October 2, 2026, through March 28, 2027
For the first time in Germany, around 80 original comic pages and cover illustrations by Morris are on display.
The exhibition offers fascinating insights into the creation and evolution of one of the world’s most successful comic series. It is made possible only thanks to the generous support and collaboration of the Morris family.
The originals are complemented by selected objects from the collections of the Museum Foundation for Post and Telecommunications. These showcase technical innovations and forms of communication that also play a role in Lucky Luke’s adventures—from the stagecoach to the “Singing Wire” to the Pony Express.
An entertaining and surprising journey through the Wild West of cartooning and the history of technology—curated by Flix and Dietrich Wolf Fenner.
An exhibition for comic fans, families, and everyone who has followed Lucky Luke for the past 80 years.
