Éditions Jean-Claude Simoën. 1977. First edition. Softcover. Cover : VG. Book : VG+. SIGNED by Yan Morvan.
Very scarce. Journalist and editor-in-chief at Le Monde Diplomatique Maurice Lemoine, and war photographer icon Yan Morvan, teamed up in the late 70’s to publish what we might consider as the French version of Danny Lyon’s The Bikeriders (1968). As a result, the book documents the appearance of the first gang of bikers coming from the Parisian banlieue, leaded by the charismatic Johnny de Montreuil (portrayed on the cover by Yan Morvan). The book also includes a raw eight-page portfolio from within the gang shoted by Morvan, and the book is signed by Yan himself.
