Les Tuniques Bleues #38
This 38th volume of the long-running Franco-Belgian series Les Tuniques Bleues, titled Les Planqués, continues the misadventures of the bickering Union cavalrymen Sergeant Chesterfield and Corporal Blutch during the American Civil War. The story follows the duo as they find themselves assigned to a rear-echelon unit, far from the front lines, leading to a mix of bureaucratic absurdity and their usual comedic clashes. Published by Dupuis, this album collects a complete narrative arc centered on the theme of soldiers avoiding combat duty.
In "Les planqués," Sergeant Chesterfield takes command of a special unit of volunteer soldiers granted rare privileges—living with their families during the war. With pride in his new role, he’s determined to train them into a disciplined force, but soon finds himself navigating chaos from both domestic distractions and unexpected nighttime threats. Written by Raoul Cauvin and illustrated by Willy Lambil, this 1996 installment of Les Tuniques Bleues blends military satire with the absurdity of wartime life, all rendered with Lambil’s signature detail and wit—cover by Willy Lambil.
