The Blues in Black and White is the first book in the series of The Blue Tunics to be translated into English and brought to the emerging American market of graphic novels. <p>The Blue Tunics follows the adventures of our heroes Corporal Blutch and Sergeant Chesterfield as they try to survive the war, do their duty, and remain friends. Blutch thinks that the best way to survive is to desert. Chesterfield thinks that the way to do his duty is to fight the enemies at the risk of his life. Both try to maintain their relationship although, they have different agendas. </p><p>Immensely popular throughout Europe, The Blue Tunics, a series of nearly fifty volumes already in print, tells the adventures of two Yankee soldiers during the American Civil War, through the imaginative scenarios created by Raoul Cauvin and the artistic illustrations of Louis Salvérieus. While the war episodes are fictitious in nature, they are loosely based upon historical events and true American heroism during the Civil War. In Europe, the series attracts a wide range of readers. The superb illustrations, the historical value, the easy to read style, the high interest level, and the inherent humor make the series popular with readers of all walks of life and all ages - children to adults. In addition this illustrated format offers a powerful resource for schools trying to reach reluctant readers. Until now, the series has been unfamiliar and unavailable to most American readers.</p>
