Die Nacht, in der ich Eddy Merckx bezwang

In Die Nacht, in der ich Eddy Merckx bezwang, Marc Locatelli crafts a single-issue comic from Edition Moderne that reimagines a personal, almost mythic encounter with cycling legend Eddy Merckx. This 2019 release blends autobiography with sporting fantasy, capturing the quiet thrill of an amateur cyclist’s imagined victory over the sport’s greatest icon. Locatelli’s evocative art grounds the story in a specific, intimate moment, making it a distinctive entry in the publisher’s catalog of thoughtful, character-driven graphic novels.
