History Creator / Morris

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He gave several characters of ''Lucky Luke'' the faces of famous people be they from the [[TheWestern Western]] genre (such as Creator/LeeVanCleef, Creator/GaryCooper, Creator/JamesCoburn, Creator/KirkDouglas, Creator/WallaceBeery, Creator/RandolphScott, Creator/JackPalance etc) or elsewhere (Creator/BorisKarloff, Creator/DavidNiven, Creator/JohnBarrymore, Creator/SeanConnery, Creator/JeanGabin, Creator/LouisDeFunes, Music/SergeGainsbourg etc).

In the beginnings of ''Lucky Luke'' in the ''Magazine/{{Spirou}}'' magazine, it quickly appeared to Morris that he vastly preferred drawing over writing stories. That problem was solved once he met ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'''s co-creator Creator/ReneGoscinny, who went on to usher in a "Golden Age" for the series that hasn't been replicated to this day, by making it an AffectionateParody of the Western characters, tropes and clichés. The result became the [[CashCowFranchise second highest seller]] among European comics behind Goscinny's own ''Asterix''.

He's perhaps the ultimate example of OneHitWonder out of all FrancoBelgianComics authors, even moreso than the likes of Creator/{{Herge}} or Creator/{{Peyo}}. He created the iconic [[TheWestern Western]] comics character of ComicBook/LuckyLuke in 1946 (which was inspired to him by a stay in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates) and not a single other series. He is also the originator of the expression "The Ninth Art" for ComicBooks.

Morris worked on ''Lucky Luke'' until his passing at age 77 in 2001 from pulmonary embolism resulting from a fall. The franchise has largely [[OutlivedItsCreator outlived him with Achdé]], who renders a perfect imitation of his drawing style.
