Blueberry's Early Years (Jonge jaren van Blueberry)
(by Charlier & Giraud)
See also: Comic Errors
The numbering of this series is hell. Mister Blueberry, Lieutenant Blueberry, Marshall Blueberry, Blueberry's Early Years, the Fort Navajo series... They all mix, there is double numbering, the Early Years jumped from 34 to 12... I just give the numbers that are on my editions. Complicated enough I guess.
