Source-derived summary

This is a list of Belgian comics albums featuring the character Lucky Luke, written and drawn by Morris.

La Mine d'or de Dick Digger

La Mine d'or de Dick Digger contains two stories published in Le Journal de Spirou in 1947: namely "La Mine d'or de Dick Digger" and "Le Sosie de Lucky Luke". They were published as the first Lucky Luke hardcover collection in 1949, and in English by Cinebook in 2014 as Dick Digger's Gold Mine.

"La Mine d'or de Dick Digger"

Lucky Luke and his faithful horse, Jolly Jumper, reunite with an old friend: prospector Dick Digger, who is overjoyed after discovering a rich gold vein in the West Hills. On his way to Nugget City to register his claim, Digger hides his map in a rum bottle.

While celebrating at a saloon, Digger attracts the attention of two criminals who decide to rob him. That night, sleeping in a room above the saloon, he is attacked by the bandits, who steal his gold and his map. Digger tries to fight back, is hit on the head and loses his memory.

The following day, Luke and Jolly Jumper pursue the thieves. Luke tracks them down and steals the bottle with the map.
