Plot

Four years after the great clash between Lucky Luke and Billy the Kid resulting in a 1200+ year prison sentence for Billy, Luke is asked to escort Billy to New Mexico to face trial for the crimes he committed there. However, Billy's enduring reputation and his repeated attempts at escape - mostly with the inept assistance of felon Bert Malloy - offer Luke and Jolly Jumper their fair share of excitement on the way.

Characters
  • Billy the Kid: One of the most fearsome bandits in the west, despite his childish attitudes.
  • Bert Malloy: Bandit met in prison by Billy, who will ally with him, for a share of Billy's (non-existent) 'stash'.
gollark: Something like that.
gollark: ```haskellappend Nil data = Node Nil Nil dataappend n@(Node prev next x) data = Node prev (Node n next data) x```
gollark: Would they? I mean, in rust you invoke borrow checker wrath, in C you invoke malloc wrath, in lots of other ones it would be magically GCed I guess.
gollark: `data Aeae a = Node Aeae Aeae a | Nil`
gollark: You can quite easily do a doubly linked list, but if you manipulate it wrong it might turn into a horrible graph.
