Lieutenant Blueberry #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the early adventures of Lieutenant Blueberry, focusing on the character's exploits in the American West. It includes the story arc 'General Golden Mane,' which follows Blueberry's encounters with a mysterious figure and the challenges of frontier justice. The volume is part of the 1991 Marvel series that reprints classic Western tales from the original Franco-Belgian comic series by Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean Giraud (Moebius).
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.
In "Book Three: The Trail of the Sioux," Lieutenant Blueberry finds himself trapped between enemies as he tries to safeguard the army’s $200K payroll from Steelfingers and a band of Indians. With help from Jimmy and Red, he sets a clever trap using a fake telegram, but when the plan unravels, he’s framed and sentenced to hang—only for the truth to resurface when the Indians return the money, having executed Steelfingers for betrayal. The story takes a dark turn as General Allister arrives with orders to exterminate the very people who just saved the payroll.
In "Book Four: General Golden Mane," Blueberry, disgraced and hunted, must navigate brutal winter conditions and escalating conflict as General Allister's reckless campaign plunges the army into Indian territory. With Red and Jimmy at his side, Blueberry fights to save lives amid icy rivers, desperate firefights, and the growing tension between soldiers and the people they’re meant to protect. When a desperate message finally reaches reinforcements, it’s not just survival at stake—but the cost of loyalty in a war that’s already turned on itself.
