The Belgian-born author Raoul Cauvin was a prolific author and, at the time of his death in 2021, was still writing several series at the same time. In 2006 alone, he had six entries on the bestselling new comics list in France, including Cedric – also published in English by Cinebook – and The Bluecoats.

Born in Belgium, Lambil published his first comic, Sandy, in 1959. He has drawn 60 volumes of The Bluecoats since taking over from Salvérius, the series’ original illustrator, who died in 1972.

Klappentext

This humorous series on the American War Between the States centers around two cavalrymen in the Union Army: Cornelius Chesterfield, a zealous and devoted sergeant, and Corporal Blutch, a reluctant soldier who is critical of authority and always tries to dodge yet another battle. This highly comical duo does what it can to escape the often obtuse military mindset, absurd orders and madness of war. In this volume, the sergeant obeys the captain for the first time and ends up in the Marines.
