"Angel Face" and "Broken Nose" are translations of Blueberry #17-18: Angel Face and Nez cassé.
Durango, Colorado, c. 1867. Angel Face intends to shoot President Grant as he speaks on the railroad platform. Blueberry, suspected as an assassin, plays cat and mouse in disguises and some help from locals. Braving house fires, ambushes, and gunfights, Blueberry foils Angel Face's assassination with a well-timed shot. As the villains flee on a highjacked train, Blueberry jumps aboard. Killing Blake, he knocks Angel Face face-first into the open firebox. The train crashes and Blueberry has vanished.
Apache Territory c. 1868. Apaches seize a stagecoach and fort without bloodshed under “Tsi-Na-Pah,” “Broken Nose,” aka Blueberry living among the Apaches. Cochise is the wise elder, but Victorio is Blueberry's rival for command and the affections of Chini, the chief's daughter. Blueberry wins her an eagle while Victorio stages a one-man raid. Yet the Apaches must flee by descending ropes as the cavalry closes in. Victorio leads them back to fight, and Blueberry must warn the fort to save both American and Indian lives.
