Drummer Boy

The hilarious adventures of a pair of unlikely friends across the bloody fields of the American Civil War. The 19th volume of a humorous series that does not shy from the horror and absurdity of war.

After yet another bloody battle, the Union Army organises a recruiting drive during which Blutch attempts to dissuade an obviously too young boy from signing up. To no avail, though, and before long the kid, Pucky, joins them as … a drummer boy! While Chesterfield is tasked with looking after him, Pucky begins to practice his drumming – much to the displeasure of the troops, who are eager to get some rest before the major engagement looming on the horizon.
