The everyday adventures of the Lonesome Cowboy.

But not every moment is spent in such grand adventures. Here is a collection of smaller stories depicting the everyday life of our cowboy, from taking a child to the dentist to helping passing settlers-and even attending a classical concert in Houston! What a full life he leads!

Lucky Luke has to clean out a whole city: Fenton Town, so named because, after being abandoned by the pioneers who founded it, it has been taken over by Dean Fenton, a desperado of the worst sort.

Dans le pire désert de Mars, il y a un coin plus perdu que les autres. Le docteur Alimantado, qui l'atteignit par accident, le baptisa Desolation Road. Il sera rejoint par une série de personnages baroques, comiques, excentriques, dont le lot commun est d'être marginaux, à la dérive, à côté de la plaque, oubliés du destin et en quelque sorte dépourvus d'avenir.
On rencontre à Desolation Road des personnalités aussi singulières que Persis Tatterdemalion, pilote d'élite clouée au sol qui devient la tenancière du premier bar ; Rajandra Das, vagabond du rail, que les machines aiment tant qu'il les répare d'une caresse ; la grand-mère Babouchka, qui rêve d'un dernier enfant - conçu et élevé dans un bocal ; Paternoster Jericho, des Familles Exaltées, haut dignitaire du crime organisé qui fuit ses assassins ; Ed, Louie et Umberto Gallacelli, triplés qui se ressemblent tant qu'ils aiment et épousent la même femme.
Et d'autres, et d'autres, et d'autres, descendants, nouveaux Martiens, sainte, pèlerins, militaires, terroristes, réunis sous la houlette du fondateur involontaire de Desolation Road, le docteur Alimantado, chronodynamicien génial, qui disparaitra dans les couloirs innombrables du temps pour sauver sa ville.
