Lieutenant Blueberry #3
In "Book Three: The Trail of the Sioux," Blueberry finds himself trapped between enemy lines as he tries to safeguard the soldiers' $200K payroll. With Jimmy and Red sending a deceptive telegram to buy time, Blueberry must outwit both Steelfingers and the Indians—only to be betrayed and framed for theft. When the Indians return the money after killing Steelfingers, peace seems possible—until General Allister arrives with orders to annihilate them. Written by Jean-Michel Charlier, Jean-Marc Lofficier, and Randy Lofficier, and illustrated with signature precision by Jean Giraud—whose distinctive art style defines the series—this 1991 Marvel issue delivers high-stakes tension and moral complexity. The cover, a striking collaboration by Moebius, captures the rugged drama of the frontier.
