About this Collection

This volume collects the second installment of Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean Giraud's acclaimed Western series, originally serialized in France. Following the adventures of Lieutenant Mike Blueberry, it continues the gritty, realistic storytelling that defined the Epic Graphic Novel line from Marvel.

"Book Three: Ballad For a Coffin" delivers a taut, cinematic chapter in the Blueberry saga, with Jean-Michel Charlier, Jean-Marc Lofficier, and Randy Lofficier crafting a pulse-pounding escape across treacherous terrain. Jean Giraud’s masterful art—pencils and inks alike—brings every ricocheting bullet, crumbling bridge, and desperate maneuver to life, while Évelyne Tran-Lê’s colors deepen the dusty, sun-scorched atmosphere. The cover by Giraud captures the moment’s tension perfectly, sealing the mood of a story where every choice carries weight.

In "Book Three: Ballad For a Coffin," Blueberry and his allies uncover a mysterious iron-bound coffin in a remote church, setting off a high-stakes escape across the frontier. With stolen wagons, booby-trapped mules, and a daring dash across a broken bridge and the Rio Grande, they evade relentless pursuers—only to find the coffin holds not treasure, but lead bars. The truth behind the gold, tied to Juarez’s revolution and the scheming Federale Vigo, unravels as the group drifts apart. Blueberry faces a court-martial for his role in the heist, sentenced to thirty years in a federal penitentiary.

In "Book Four: The Outlaw" from *Epic Graphic Novel: Blueberry #2*, Blueberry, imprisoned and near death in Francisville, gambles everything on a daring bluff about Confederate gold. Escaping by train only to be ambushed by Blake’s bandits, he’s offered a choice: join them or die. Now on the move through Santa Fe and into the heart of the frontier, he finds himself entangled with Guffie Palmer, a retired madame with secrets of her own. As tensions rise and the arrival of President Grant looms in Durango, Blueberry is framed for a murder he didn’t commit—while a quiet assassin watches from the shadows, and power shifts in ways no one sees coming.
