Fort Navajo

Set against the sweeping landscapes of the American Old West, Fort Navajo (1972–1975) is a six-issue comic series from Interpresse that grounds its frontier drama in the daily life and conflicts of a remote cavalry outpost. Written by Jean-Michel Charlier and illustrated by Jean Giraud, the series stands as a foundational work in the European Western genre, known for its gritty realism and meticulous historical detail. It matters as a key collaboration between two masters of the bande dessinée, whose work here helped define the tone for the legendary Blueberry saga that followed.
