Blutch and Chesterfield go up in an observation balloon to spy on the Confederate troops - but the plot thickens when the heroes crash land on their superiors. The generals send them behind enemy lines to try and free Stark, who has been captured on a previous sortie. A tricky mission for both sides!
The American Civil War has never been so amusing. Raoul Cauvin and Willy Lambil have a knack for turning the miseries of war into a slapstick routine.A" Penny Kenny (Comicsbulletin.com)
