Storia
The story begins with Michael 'Mike' Blueberry, an alleged wayward adolescent from Louisiana, being sent to live with his Wild West uncle. Mike's uncle has no interest in him and uses a stick as his only form of motivation. In a near-fatal encounter at a brothel with Wallace 'Wally' Sebastian Blount, Mike is left for dead in the desert. He is then found by a Chiricahua Apache medicine man's family who nurse him back to health and initiate him into their tribe. After the shaman's death, Mike returns to his uncle's town and becomes an honest deputy marshal. However, when gold fever strikes, staged Indian brutalities are used to allow rivaling fiends to invade their sacred mountains.
