Durango is the hero eponym of a western series comics created by Thierry Girod and Yves Swolfs, a fan from a young age of spaghetti westerns. It starts in 1981. For his character, the author drew inspiration from that played by Jean-Louis Trintignant in the Italian western The Great Silence.
The main character is a lonely man, nicknamed "the peacemaker". It kills only in self-defense. From the second volume, Durango lost the use of his right hand. He quickly becomes good with the left hand and buys a Mauser C96, the first automatic weapon, which gives him certain advantages.
You can see Lucky Luke on page 15 from Gold Duncan. It is the same for the Lieutenant Blueberry and his companion McClure on horseback on page 17 of the album No Mercy.
The character Durango is a species of hero archetype Italian western - a kind of synthesis between Django, Silence and character that Clint Eastwood embodied in the first three westerns of Sergio Leone.
