Blueberry--Geronimo El Apache (Blueberry)

Blueberry--Geronimo El Apache (Blueberry) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

- The Blueberry series has long been a critical and commercial favorite in France--and the time is ripe for the series to achieve the same recognition in America when Blueberry is released as a major motion picture in early 2004.
- In American culture, the word frontier is synonymous with freedom--and along with the myth of the open range, the cowboy is the modern day equivalent to the knight-in-shining-armor. Stories of the wild west are therefore enduringly appealing--from the timeless films of Clint Eastwood, like Unforgiven, to classic TV series like The Lone Ranger, Maverick, Bonanza and Gunsmoke, to the popular novels of Louis L'Amour, Larry McMurtry and Cormac McCarthy. The heavily promoted new release The Alamo, may further boost the public demand for Western stories.
- The frontier setting will likely appeal to Hispanics readers who are largely concentrated in southwestern regions of the United States. The vast majority of works by leading Chicano/a writers are set in these regions, such as the novels of Rudolfo Anaya and Rolando Hinojosa.

Synopsis:

This classic, visually stunning series is a loving homage to the American frontier, while its verisimilitude nevertheless defies Western stereotypes. It chronicles the adventures of Mike Steve Blueberry, a maverick lieutenant embroiled in the Indian wars of the 1870?s. Blueberry esta considerado el western por excelencia dentro del comic mundial, un clasico del Oeste que nadie se puede perder. La critca y el publico tambien han llego a la conclusion de que se trata de una obra maestro, iniciado por Moebius y Jean-Michel Charlier en los anos sesenta, y que presenta la dureza de la vida en el lejano Oeste, desde la Guerra de Secesion hasta finales del siglo XIX. Los paisajes creados por Moebius y, mas tardes, por otros autores mas jovenes, son el scenario ideal par alas aventuras de Mike Steve Blueberry.
