To celebrate Lucky Luke’s 80th birthday, the exhibition “Lucky Luke – Morris’s Lone Western Hero” is set to become a gathering place for comic book fans of all ages. In keeping with the Halloween spirit, the Museum for Communication in Berlin is combining the birthday of the most famous cowboy with a festive program that’s as colorful as it is tongue-in-cheek. This turns a visit to the exhibition into a full-day experience for the whole family—featuring, among other things , a look-alike contest, a comic-drawing workshop, a birthday cake, a craft corner, curator-led tours, and plenty of Halloween fun.
