Blueberry

Jean-Michel Charlier and Jean Giraud’s classic Western saga follows the stoic, taciturn cavalry officer Mike Blueberry through a series of morally complex adventures in the post-Civil War American frontier. Published by Semic Press from 1973 to 1975, this six-issue run showcases Giraud’s luminous, detailed art and Charlier’s gritty, revisionist storytelling, which together elevated the genre and influenced generations of European comic artists. The series stands as a cornerstone of Franco-Belgian comics, celebrated for its authentic atmosphere and nuanced portrayal of the Old West.
