Luitenant Blueberry #22

Against a vast, dusty American Southwest landscape — mesa formations rising under a brooding sky — Lieutenant Blueberry sits astride a rearing black horse, silhouetted and alone at the trail's end. Jean Giraud's cover art for this 1986 Novedi edition captures the mood of "Het einde van de lange rit" with remarkable economy: a lone rider, an open desert, and a horizon that feels both final and full of weight. Written by Jean-Michel Charlier and drawn by Giraud, this Belgian edition is a compelling entry in one of Franco-Belgian comics' most celebrated Western series.
