Christie’s will auction 50 original Lucky Luke comic pages by Morris on November 15, 2024 in Paris. This event marks the highlight of the centennial celebrations for Morris, which began in December 2023 with a retrospective at the Huberty & Breyne Gallery in Brussels. Prior to the auction, these original pieces will be on display in Christie’s showrooms in Brussels, Geneva, and Paris. These showings provide a unique opportunity for fans and collectors to rediscover the extraordinary career of this comic book giant.

Public viewing dates at Christie’s: October 9-10 in Brussels, October 22-24 in Geneva, and November 9-15 in Paris.

This landmark exhibition is the most significant ever dedicated to the “ninth art,” inviting visitors to explore the evolution of comics over the decades. The exhibit spans from the clarity of European ligne claire style to the expressive depth of underground comics, featuring around 750 works by some of the world’s top comic artists. Morris Comics contributed four original Lucky Luke pages from the album Les Rivaux de Painful Gulch to this exhibit.
