The saga of Lieutenant Blueberry is undoubtedly one of the greatest western epics in comic book history. Written by Jean-Michel Charlier and illustrated by stylistic chameleon Moebius, the series follows the undisciplined but always resourceful anti hero through the Civil War, the settlement of the Wild West, and numerous conflicts along the Mexican border. Chihuahua Pearl is the beginning of the third Blueberry saga, where he goes from soldier to outlaw and finds himself deep in dangerous Mexican territory with only a name and a story about a half million in confederate gold. The fate of the young nation of America is at stake, and it's all in the hands of our hard-headed hero. But first, he'll have to outrun and outsmart bandits, bounty hunters, Confederate deserters, the Mexican army, and one very feisty saloon dancer.
