Plot.
Somewhere in the southwestern United States, the conflict between Indian tribes and the 'Bluecoats' rages. A patrol of Fort Bow is surprised when a messenger of the Union
drama of the plots is balanced by frequent humorous incidents and Blutch's constant sarcastic wisecracks. Although this is not strictly speaking an adult-oriented "bande dessinée", the authors are not afraid of showing the reality of war in a harsh, but tactful manner, such as dead bodies in the aftermath of a battle. Military authority, especially the uncaring and/or incompetent leader is often the subject of parody and derision.
