Comic: Blueberry aka Captain Tiger

Blueberry is a Franco-Belgian comics western series created by the Belgian scriptwriter Jean-Michel Charlier and French comics artist Jean "Mœbius" Giraud. It chronicles the adventures of Mike Blueberry on his travels through the American Old West. Blueberry is an atypical western hero, he is not a wandering lawman who brings evil-doers to justice, nor a handsome cowboy who "rides into town, saves the ranch, becomes the new sheriff and marries the schoolmarm." The story follows Michael Steven Donovan, nicknamed "Blueberry", a name he chose when fleeing from his Southern enemies (which was inspired when he looked at a blueberry bush), starting with his adventures as a lieutenant in the United States Cavalry shortly after the American Civil War. He is accompanied in many tales by his hard-drinking deputy, Jimmy McClure, and later also by Red Woolley, a rugged pioneer.
Donovan is the son of a rich Southern farmer and started as a dedicated racist. He was framed for a murder he did not commit, had to flee and was saved by an African-American. He became an enemy of discrimination of all kinds, fought against the Confederates (although he was a Southerner himself), and tried to protect the rights of Native Americans. The first English translations of Blueberrycomics were published in Europe during the late seventies by Egmont/Methuen. Since then English translations were published by many other companies (EpicComics, Comcat, Mojo Press, Dark Horse Comics ) resulting into all kinds of formats and quality - from b/w, American comic book sized budget collections to full color European style albums with many extras. Since 1993 no Blueberrycomics have been published in English. Moebius painted new covers for the Epic line of Blueberry. Actually this was the first time Blueberry was published under Giraud's pseudonym, Moebius. As R.J.M. Lofficier, the translator of the books wrote: "This is quite ironic because Giraud first coined the "Moebius" pseudonym precisely because he wanted to keep his two bodies of work separate. Yet, the artist recognizes the fact that he has now become better known in this country under his "nom-de-plume," and this is his way of making it official!"

The Young Blueberry (La Jeunesse de Blueberry) is a prequel dealing with Blueberry's early years, during the American
Civil War; so far only the first three stories, still the work of the original Charlier­Giraud (Moebius) tandem, were published
in English by ComCat:

And finally "Three Black Birds", written and illustrated by Jean "Mœbius" Giraud, that appears in "The Blueberry Saga #1:
The Confederate Gold", published by Mojo Press in 1996, a black and white collection that also contains reprints of
Blueberry stories from Epic:
