Luitenant Blueberry

In the late 1970s, Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean Giraud reunited for a compact five-issue series published by Oberon and Dargaud Benelux that expands the world of their iconic Western hero. Luitenant Blueberry steps back in time to follow a younger, pre-Cavalry Mike Blueberry during his early adventures in the lawless frontier. While Giraud’s detailed, expressive artwork and Charlier’s gritty, historically-informed storytelling are the hallmark of this run, the series offers a distinct, standalone chapter in the Blueberry saga. It’s a must-read for fans of the creators’ legendary partnership and the classic European Western comic tradition.
