Hello all, and welcome to our new theme where we focus on the comic book artist Geof Darrow. For our first book we are reviewing Lieutenant Blueberry by Jean Giraud aka Moebius, a book that greatly inspired Geof Darrow.
Lieutenant Blueberry follows two military members in post-Civil War America. Lieutenant Craig, a proud son of a military general, and Lieutenant Blueberry, a member of the U.S. Cavalry with a bit of a rebel streak. Both are on their way to Fort Navajo when they come across a ranch that’s been ransacked by the Apaches. The owner of the ranch is alive just long enough to inform them that his attackers kidnapped his son. Craig and Blueberry make their way to Fort Navajo to get help in finding the boy, but things take a turn for the worse. Colonel Dickson, who’s in charge of the fort has to convalesce and Major Bascom is left in command—someone who has a deep-seated hatred for Indians. This happens right before a peaceful meeting between the Americans and the Apaches to discuss the boy’s whereabouts was to take place. Instead, Bascom launches an ambush on the Apaches, which seemed to have sparked an even greater conflict between the Americans and Apaches.
We cover how this story unfolded, the techniques employed in telling it, whether it landed well, and much more — all in our usual conversation-between-friends style review.
