''Tonnerre à l'Ouest'' is a comic book by [[Creator/{{Moebius}} Jean Giraud]] and Jean-Michel Charlier. The original French version was first published in ''Pilote'' magazine in 1964. Then it was published as a comic album in 1966. An English-language comic album was published in 1977 under the title ''Thunder in the West''. This is the second episode of the ''ComicBook/{{Blueberry}}'' series and the second part of the First Indian Wars series.

Fort Navajo is besieged by the Apache. Colonel Dickson is unconscious because he was bitten by a snake, so Major Bascom is in charge. He plans to hang the Apache hostages. Blueberry offers to cross the enemy lines to fetch medicine for Dickson. At the same time, Crowe, an officer of mixed race, breaks the hostages out.
