Hot and Cold (Volume 4) (Cedric, 4)

The Blue and the Gray... and the Brown! While out on patrol, Blutch and Chesterfield encounter an unusual soldier: a woman wearing a Union uniform, who has come to join the army to look for her brother and uphold the family’s honour. Blutch is unconvinced, but the sergeant, won over by the combination of bravery and a pretty face, agrees to help her. That, however, means taking her along for Captain Stark’s demented charges – a prospect that could drive anyone to shirk their duty or desert…

Bluecoats Vol. 7: The Blues in the Mud (The Bluecoats, 7) (Volume 7)

A flashback to the origins of the infernal pair! Contrary to what you may believe, even the very martial Sergeant Chesterfield didn’t always wear the Union’s blue uniform. Both he and Blutch were civilians at the beginning of the war—butcher’s boy and barman, respectively. So, how did they find themselves in the 22nd Cavalry? Well, there was a rather unscrupulous recruiting officer, a lot of alcohol, an overly eager young lady ... and a definite aversion for the infantry!

Auld Lang Blue (Volume 8) (The Bluecoats, 8)

All the joys and terrors of childhood in comic form! Cedric’s school is electing class representatives for the first time. A prospect that appeals to the boy, but also several others children—including Chen, the little girl he’s got a crush on. Difficult for Cedric to reconcile his feelings and his desire to win, especially since Chen is a strong-willed young lady who, story after story, shows a definite lack of interest for being window dressing! Fortunately there’s Grandpa, his advice ... and his own blunders!
