Bourdin cooperated with Jean-Michel Charlier on 'L'Histoire de Cochise', published in Jeannot in July 1957. This strip laid the foundation for the successful 'Blueberry' series, which Charlier started with Jean Giraud in Pilote a couple of years later. He passed away in 1971 in Colombes, Hauts-de-Seine, Îles-de-France.
