La Ballade des Dalton is a Lucky Luke adventure. A 1978 animated film from France written by Goscinny and Morris. Two different adaptations into book form were both published in French in 1978. The first, adapted by Guy Vidal, was in text form rather than comic strip, and was accompanied by images from the film. The second was a comic strip adaptation by an uncredited Pascal Dabère and formed part of the book, La Ballade des Dalton et autres histoires (The Ballad of the Daltons and Other Stories).
