Luitenant Blueberry #22

A lone rider reins in a rearing black horse against the vast, sun-baked expanse of Monument Valley — Jean Giraud's linework capturing both the ruggedness of the frontier and the quiet drama of a solitary figure at a crossroads. This 2003 Dutch-language Dargaud Benelux edition pairs Giraud's sweeping cover art with Jean-Michel Charlier's storytelling for a title that translates to "The End of the Long Ride." It's a fitting image for a volume whose very name suggests a journey reaching its conclusion under that wide, mesa-dotted sky.
