The book starts with the small town intrigue about motorcycle clubs riding through. Blowing in the wind is the addictive passion for a free living high rolling culture of bikers. A kid named Frenchie grows up enamoured of the two wheeled monsters. He joins the Navy too in times of national need. Honorably discharged he looks for more adventure back home in America.
In his travels he meets up with an outlaw MC called Lucifer’s Sword. And now the action and drama lights up the pages of this beautifully illustrated graphic novel. My favourite scenes were the moonlit night when Frenchie is on watch and Dirt gets knifed. Other equally engaging pages unfold in a gripping narrative in this fast paced thriller.
The women are pretty, the bikes look mean, the riders are tough and this book is a dream come true for those who miss graphic illustrations and wild road tales from days of yore. It is definitely a collectible item. Wish I could get it signed from the man who lived these moments.
