Portrait of Blueberry and Chihuahua Pearl,
original illustration created in 2005. Signed.
Watercolor and graphite on paper
A beautiful face-off between Mike Blueberry and Chihuahua Pearl, a.k.a. El Cuchillo ("the knife"), aptly named because once you've fallen under her spell, you've got a knife at your throat! There's more than electricity between her and Blueberry. And with this enchanting, scheming and ambitious adventuress, who has more than one trick up her sleeve, there's above all the ambition to get her hands on the Confederate gold, whatever the circumstances! With his fiery brush, Jean Giraud recaptures the moment of "love at first sight", when this mythical Franco-Belgian comic couple first met!
