The bluecoats - tome 3 The Skyriders (03)

Blutch and Chesterfield go up in an observation balloon to spy on the Confederate troops. When our heroes crash-land on their superiors, the generals send them behind enemy lines to try and free Stark, who has been captured on a previous sortie. A tricky mission, not only for our heroes, but also for the other side. 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.
