The Bluecoats Book 6 – Bronco Benny

The Bluecoats Book 6 – Bronco Benny, by Raoul Cauvin & Willy Lambil, Cinebook

A CAVALRY cannot fight without horses and there’s a battle in the offing so some are needed pronto. Why the Union army let Blutch and Chesterfield off to purchase as many as they can only verifies that its leaders are even bigger dunderheads than its enlisted men...

Accompanied by the laconic legend that is Bronco Billy, a horse trainer extraordinaire, they cross Rebel army lines, duck and dive Red Indians’ arrows and end up stuck at the wrong end of a canyon. Fortunately, there is also a ranch there, one that’s captured a herd of wild horses, among the wildest stallion going by the name of Traveller. If Bronco Billy can tame the steed there’s a chance that they can strike a deal on the others and make good their escape. Naturally enough, things do not go according to plan – And then some!

This series remains a gentle cartoon comedy of errors, with many a truism hidden behind its humour.
