Description

The comic book shown in the photo is volume 6 of the series "Les Tuniques Bleues" (The Bluecoats), titled "La Prison de Robertsonville" (Robertsonville Prison). The album features a hardcover with a full-color illustration typical of the Franco-Belgian style, depicting two characters in blue uniforms, one soldier armed with a rifle and another with a lantern, in the midst of an escape scene in front of barbed wire and a guard tower, under stylized moonlight. The title "LA PRISON DE ROBERTSONVILLE" is clearly legible, as is the mention "Drawings: Willy Lambil, Script: Raoul Cauvin" below. At the top of the cover is the series title "Les Tuniques Bleues" on a gray band, with the number "N°6" in red to the right. At the bottom, the "DUPUIS" publisher logo is clearly visible.

The cover appears to be in good condition, with a glossy surface and no major visible defects on the front. The colors remain vibrant, the drawing is crisp, and the corners appear only slightly worn. No snags, creases, or tears are observable on this side. The background of the photo, composed of old bookbindings, enhances the vintage look of the album.

This volume is a must-have for fans of humorous historical comic books, emblematic of the Franco-Belgian albums published by Dupuis. The highly recognizable graphic style combines humor and the historical context of the American Civil War, which is what makes "Les Tuniques Bleues" series renowned.

The format presented here corresponds to the classic hardcover edition, with color printing on the cover. The spine, not visible, is not described here in accordance with the policy of objectivity.
