Jean Giraud (Moebius) Blueberry: Fort Navajo #1 Story Page 2 First Appearance Storyline Original Art (Pilote #210, 1963).

The Second Page of the Blueberry Saga, a Landmark Piece -- Offered for the First Time!

At just 26 years old, Jean Giraud had already emerged as a singular talent in the realm of European realistic comics. This second historic page from the Blueberry saga showcases, with dazzling clarity, his innate gift for cinematic storytelling.

From the very first frame -- a tense poker game -- to the climactic burst of acrobatic gunfire, Giraud demonstrates total command over composition and visual rhythm. Each panel is masterfully framed, the transitions fluid, orchestrating a narrative crescendo with the finesse of a seasoned filmmaker.
Yet what truly elevates this original page is the breathtaking richness of its world in motion, brought to life by Giraud's virtuoso inking.

The dramatic intensity of each pose, selected with impeccable precision, is amplified by a wealth of visual detail. The result is a moment suspended in time, a kind of cinematic slow-motion, where swirling energy and cascading reactions are captured through subtle speedlines and dynamic linework.

And still, there is nothing mechanical or academic in this display of skill. On the contrary, one senses the boundless imagination of the artist -- still intimately connected to the thrills and freefalls of childhood. Giraud draws like a boy bewitched by the Wild West, flinging himself headlong into a paper screen with fearless, joyful abandon.

Ink over graphite on two thick illustration boards, assembled on the back with adhesive tape, with a combined image area of 11.75" x 15.25". Whiteout corrections, light toning, minor handling wear, and corner creasing. In Very Good condition.
