(x) Monday Movie Madness - "Lucky Luke" poster - Sin City fan font {Lex}

Bald Condensed

I don’t need Lucky Luke, just the credits. These brush capitals are very similar to the Sin City logo, originally designed by Frank Miller’s brother. This could be a fan font, but I hope it’s a quality design.

The brush is Sin City based on the comic book logo (I’d recognize that ’S’ anywhere).

D’oh. Could’ve found that one myself. Unlinkable though, as its design is ripped off; not original. :^/

They’re making a Lucky Luke film?! That’d be cool! They were some of my favourite comics as a kid. My Dad had a bunch in French that he used to read/translate for me, and when I started to learn French in High School, I’d try to read them myself, and watch how I got better over time.

Apparently it was released in November 2009 in the US, but no news on the Australian front.

Personally I think the best comics for learning French are Asterix et Obelix, because the writing is (was) so incredibly clever and funny.

Well, they’ve already made a few Lucky Luke films:

I searched Dafont looking for this, but why this was under Script>Various and not Script>Brush is a mystery to me. Way to go Lex.

Certainly agree with you there, Yves, and my Dad had a bunch of those in French as well. He lived in France for a few years before I was born and built up quite a collection of Asterix comics. Tintin too. And yes, I can’t believe how well they were translated into English. The names – Getafix, Unhygenix, Fulliautomatix, Vitalstatistix, etc, etc – are particularly memorable.

Riccardo, so they have. The TV show was shown here in Australia many years ago (I remember the theme: Bang, bang a Luke-y Luke!), but I’ve never heard of any of the films.
