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. The bandits give chase, and reclaim the bottle; however, Luke has replaced the map with a fake one which leads them into a trap.
With the help of the Nugget City sheriff, Luke captures the criminals. During an encounter with the gang’s leader, Dick Digger regains his memory. Reunited with his family, he sets off to dig for gold and claim his fortune.
"Le Sosie de Lucky Luke" Luke discovers that the residents of a town fear him due to his resemblance to Mad Jim, a notorious outlaw who is imprisoned and awaiting execution. Two criminals ambush Luke, knock him out and swap him with Mad Jim, placing him in a drunken sheriff’s jail cell. Their goal is to free Mad Jim and claim a share of his hidden loot.
When Luke regains consciousness, he vainly tries to convince the sheriff of his true identity. His execution is botched, giving him time to escape. Determined to bring Mad Jim and accomplices Stan Strangler and Charley Chick to justice, he sets off in pursuit.
Luke captures the criminals, but they escape with the help of two Native Americans who are offended by Luke’s attempt to give them a harmonica and take him prisoner. When a dispute breaks out between them, Luke escapes and recaptures the outlaws.
Mad Jim again escapes, leading to a showdown in the local saloon. Luke uncharacteristically has no choice but to shoot and kill Mad Jim. He never again takes a life, relying on his sharpshooting skills to disarm his opponents.

"La ruée vers l'or de Buffalo Creek" Luke sees a sleeping prospector and plays a practical joke on him, planting a gold nugget in his pan. The prospector awakes to his dream come true and, when Luke tries to admit his joke, shoots at him. A gold rush follows, and Luke is arrested when he tries to explain the truth. An expert examines the gold nugget, and says that it was discovered in California fifty years earlier. Buffalo Creek then becomes a ghost town.

Luke finds Jolly Jumper (who has been stolen by Pat Poker), and wins him back in a card game; Poker advises him to leave before sunset. Luke returns at night, hidden in a cart of hay. He captures two of Pat Poker's men as they rob the bank, and tackles Pat Poker in his saloon. Poker escapes with help from the undertaker, but Luke catches him.

He is well-received at the local saloon until Angelface, a tough guy who hates foreigners, shepherds and sheep, threatens him if he does not leave. Angelface is distracted by the arrival of a dog, which heralds the arrival of a shepherd. He follows the dog, who leads him to a shepherd and a flock of sheep. Luke keeps Angelface from hanging the shepherd, who quickly leaves with his sheep.
Pat Poker, recently released from prison, arrives in Tumbleweed and takes over the town. He is frightened when he sees Luke, and tries to trap him. Luke, with no arrest warrant, lets him go. Angelface allies himself with Pat Poker, who pays him to kill Luke. Pat Poker invites Luke to a card game, when Angelface will shoot him through his hotel-room window, but Luke distracts Angelface and sabotages his rifle.

Hors-la-loi
Hors-la-loi, the series' sixth album, was published by Dupuis in 1954 and by Cinebook in English in 2014 as Outlaws. It is the first Lucky Luke story which is loosely based on historical events in the Old West. In it, Luke is pitted against a fictionalized version of the Dalton brothers.
The four brothers (Bob, Grant, Bill and Emmet Dalton) are introduced. Their first bank attack, in 1889 in El Reno, Oklahoma, began their criminal careers and was followed by a stagecoach attack. The Daltons' growing reputation worries the government, which sends Luke to stop them. Money is transported on a train. Luke later meets the bandits in a saloon and presents them with a show of force, but they escape. The Daltons continue their misdeeds, forcing them to remain on guard. They find Lucky Luke in a saloon and flee, unsuccessfully trying to have cosmetic surgery. Believing that Luke is gone for good, they decide to attack Coffeyville on October 5, 1892, at 9:00 a.m. Luke ambushes them in front of the bank, and they are imprisoned and hanged.
