Les Tuniques Bleues #58

The beloved Belgian humor series returns with issue #58, "Les Bleus se mettent au vert," brought to life once again by the sharp-eyed duo of writer Raoul Cauvin and artist Willy Lambil. The cover says it all: a Union soldier in full blue uniform delivers an enthusiastic kick at what appears to be a cannonball-turned-sporting-projectile, while two bemused Confederate soldiers look on in bewilderment amid a cheerful green landscape. Lambil's expressive, lively linework captures the series' trademark blend of Civil War absurdity and warm slapstick comedy that has made Les Tuniques Bleues a cherished staple of Franco-Belgian comics.
