Julie Wood #3

Jean Graton brings his signature energy to this 1977 Dargaud album as Julie Wood — rendered in striking close-up with piercing eyes and flowing blonde hair — looms large over a dust-churned race scene packed with motocross bikes and battered off-road vehicles jostling for position. The title "500 fous au départ" (500 madmen at the start) perfectly captures the chaotic spectacle unfolding below her, with riders and drivers seemingly willing to risk everything just to get ahead. A vivid slice of late-1970s motorsport adventure comics from one of Belgium's most dedicated racing storytellers.
