☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the fourth story arc of the classic Western series, originally published in French as La Tribu fantôme. Written by Jean-Michel Charlier and illustrated by Jean Giraud (Moebius), it follows Lieutenant Blueberry as he navigates treacherous conflicts involving Native American tribes and corrupt military forces in the post-Civil War frontier. This edition presents the complete narrative in a single hardcover volume, part of Marvel's Epic Graphic Novel line that brought the acclaimed European series to English-speaking readers.
"Book Seven: The Long March" delivers a taut, sweeping chapter in the legendary Blueberry saga, with Jean-Michel Charlier, Jean-Marc Lofficier, and Randy Lofficier crafting a story that pulses with tension and moral weight. Jean Giraud’s masterful art—pencils and inks alike—brings the harsh landscapes and desperate stakes to life, while Évelyne Tran-Lê’s colors deepen the mood. Moebius’ iconic cover captures the grit and grandeur of the journey, a 12.95 USD (16.95 CAD) adventure in 1990 that finds Blueberry and his allies racing toward freedom and a fated reunion with their people.
In "Book Seven: The Long March," Blueberry faces trial at Fort Bowie while his allies—Red, Jimmy, and Chihuahua Pearl—rally to his cause. With Chini’s quiet courage and a stolen gun, the fugitives break free, outmaneuvering the Army through daring deception and a bold train heist, fleeing toward the uncertain safety of the Apache nation.
In "Book Eight: The Ghost Tribe," Blueberry and Victorio’s warriors lead a desperate mission to rescue Cochise and the starving Apaches from San Carlos, dodging soldiers and braving the frozen wilderness in a high-stakes race to the Mexican border. With forged telegraph signals, hidden traps, and the quiet courage of the tribe’s elders, they push through ambushes and sacrifice to secure freedom. As the survivors cross into Mexico, Blueberry says his farewells to Chini and Victorio—then sets off alone, determined to clear his name and seek justice.
