Luitenant Blueberry
Mike Steve Blueberry is a cynical, courageous U.S. Cavalry lieutenant navigating the dangerous, morally ambiguous American West after the Civil War — this is the Dutch-language edition of the acclaimed French Western series, published in the anthology Pep.
Few characters carry the fingerprints of legends quite like Luitenant Blueberry, who made their debut in the Dutch anthology Pep in 1967 — brought to the page by none other than René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the celebrated duo behind some of Europe's most beloved comics. A Silver Age arrival published under Geïllustreerde Pers, this character has maintained a presence in the catalog stretching across an remarkable 58 years, appearing in Pep and In het spoor van Blueberry. The company here is genuinely distinguished — sharing pages with the likes of Francis Blake, Professor Philip Mortimer, and Erwin de Noorman speaks to the rich, adventurous world of classic European comics storytelling this character inhabits. For collectors with a taste for the continental tradition and the golden touch of Goscinny and Uderzo, Luitenant Blueberry is a fascinating piece of that legacy worth seeking out.
