Capitaine Stark

From the early Bronze Age pages of Dupuis' beloved Les Tuniques Bleues, Capitaine Stark stepped onto the scene in 1972, brought to life by the creative team of Cauvin and Louis Salvérius. A fixture of this enduring Franco-Belgian series across nearly two decades, he shares his world with the memorable duo of Caporal Blutch and Sergent Chesterfield, lending the strip its distinctive cast of recurring faces. Though his catalog footprint is modest, his place in a series that ran from 1972 to 1989 speaks to the rich, long-running storytelling tradition that made Les Tuniques Bleues a cornerstone of European comics — well worth a look for any collector eager to explore beyond the American mainstream.
