Volume 12 — Last train to Washington
The assassination of the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, is programmed. A woman, as we love them (in the novels!) that is to say beautiful and excessively cruel, has put her soul at the service of this conspiracy. Blueberry and her friends will succeed in thwarting this dark machination? In principle, yes, but the dictionaries say that Mr. Lincoln was actually murdered.
Volume 13 — We must kill Lincoln
Will Mike Steve Blueberry succeed in preventing the assassination of President Lincoln by the beautiful Eleonore Mitchell and the members of the Blood Sect? Combining historical facts and delusional imagination, the Blueberry Youth is a thrilling show full of noises and rage.
Volume 14 — Cincinnati's butcher
A man was kidnapped by the Confederates in 1864. His name, Richard Gatling, engineer and especially inventor of the first real industrial war machine, the famous Gatling, ancestor of all modern machine guns. The young lieutenant Blueberry will therefore start to look for him in order to avoid the Southerners being able to develop this infernal but very real weapon that could change the fate of the United States. From real facts and characters, François Corteggiani built an incredible scenario beautifully illustrated by a Michel Blanc-Dumont at the top of his art. From the great adventure for this new diptych.
Volume 15 — The Veracruz Mermaid
Second and final volume of this thrilling adventure of young Mike Steve Blueberry signed by master by Blanc-Dumont and Corteggiani. We had left our hero in bad posture, prisoner of French soldiers in Mexico while the Southerners are developing a revolutionary machine gun that could rock the Civil War. What terrifying machiavelic plan, in the northern camp?
Volume 16 — $100 to die
Following the premature death of a Confederate prisoner belonging to a small group of Cherokee Indians, young Lieutenant Blueberry finds himself, despite himself on the track of a strange envoy of the Rothschild bank who mysteriously disappeared. While in Washington strange agreements are being made under the ferrule of Alan Pinkerton, he embarks on a crazy adventure at the risk of his life. First volume of a new diptych signed by François Corteggiani and Michel Blanc-Dumont with a master's hand.
Volume 17 — The Tears' Trail
Blueberry, accompanied by his faithful acolytes and an Indian shaman subject to terrifying visions, is on the track of a train full of gold. But a horde of confederates is also in search of this maggot that could change the fate of the immense butchery that was the war of secession. Cavalcades, battles, duels and pursuits are led by a Michel Blanc-Dumont at the top of his art and a François Corteggiani who has fun deploying all the screenplay of the great Charlier.
Volume 18 — 1276 souls
As Blueberry recovers from the tragic events on the banks of the Niagara River, he is entrusted with a dangerous mission. General Sheridan's niece was taken from his college by an illuminated preacher and his sbires who want to avenge himself of a massacre perpetrated on civilians. As a ransom, they demand the surrender of the northern armies and the resignation of President Lincoln. Blueberry starts to pursue them without doubt that he is not the only one on the track and that he will again lay his boots in a mortal trap. Michel Blanc-Dumont and François Corteggiani fully justify their reputation as great masters of comic adventures with this haletante story that will spread over two volumes.
Volume 19 — Redemption
In order to find General Sheridan's daughter, the only survivor of the massacre of a convent, Blueberry will have to face the terrible Jim Thompson, an illuminated preacher, who reigns without division over a village of patriarchal rednecks. A dense and nervous western signed by François Corteggiani and Michel Blanc-Dumont, in which one finds with immense pleasure the most famous lieutenant of the comic strip.
Volume 20 — Gettysburg
While Jean Giraud left, Corteggiani and Blanc-Dumont offer us Gettysburg, 20th volume of Blueberry's Youth... In this 20th album of Blueberry's Youth, Mike Steve Blueberry remembers the terrible battle of Gettysburg. Between historical reality and great adventure, dive back into the heart of the Civil War and live from within one of the most famous, and bloodiest, battles of history. This 20th episode of Blueberry's Youth is a complete 56-page story followed by a short story published in Pilote.
Volume 21 — The convoy of the banished
While Blueberry is transferred to a southern penitentiary, the train carrying him is caught in an ambush. Our hero manages to escape and finds refuge in a village out of time and war. Unfortunately, fire and tears are never far away, and the Civil War will soon catch up with this quiet hamlet.
