Ballad for a Coffin

Jean-Michel Charlier

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Blueberry is the legendary hero of the American West created by European comics mavens Charlier and 'Moebius' Giraud. This edition continues the adventure begun in 'Chihuahua Pearl'. The U.S. government has sent Blueberry deep under cover in Mexico to recover a half million in gold before the confederates can use it to restart the civil war. His chances grow slimmer every day as the Mexican army and rebel deserters go after the money, themselves.

Blueberry is an unusual hero, not only for being a stoic survivor straight out of Leone, but because he never comes out on top. Though he is always down, he's never out, and his ability to persevere throughout all the wars, betrayals, and machinations around him has endeared him to generations of readers.

Here, Blueberry must tangle with train robbers, bandits, and a secret plot which may go higher than our hero ever imagined. Whatever part Blueberry was meant to play in this grand game of political chess, you can bet he'll be no man's pawn.

Featuring exemplary illustrations by Jean 'Moebius' Giraud, whose evocative characters and epic western vistas are drawn with daringly experimental color, layout and action, providing a unique and masterfully-imagined setting for this grand tale of the old west.
