Sergent Chesterfield

Sergent Chesterfield is a bumbling but good-hearted Union Army soldier in the Franco-Belgian series Les Tuniques Bleues, set during the American Civil War. He serves alongside the cynical Corporal Blutch under Captain Stark, their contrasting personalities driving the series' mix of comedy and adventure.

Bursting onto the pages of Spirou in 1970 under the legendary hand of Franquin, Sergent Chesterfield is a Silver Age creation from the storied Belgian publisher Dupuis, woven into the rich tapestry of Les Tuniques Bleues — one of the most beloved Franco-Belgian series of its era. Over nearly two decades, he kept vivid company with the likes of Caporal Blutch, Capitaine Stark, and Colonel Appeltown, a cast that made Les Tuniques Bleues a cornerstone of European comics. For collectors with a taste for the classic Dupuis universe and the golden run of Spirou-era storytelling, Sergent Chesterfield is a genuine piece of that world worth seeking out.
