About the series
Jean Graton, the celebrated creator of the Michel Vaillant series, turned his attention to the world of equestrian sports with Julie Wood, a short-lived but warmly remembered series published by Koralle from 1978 to 1980. Spanning just five issues, the comic follows the adventures of its titular heroine, a young rider navigating the challenges and thrills of competitive horseback riding. Graton handled both writing and art, bringing his signature dynamic linework and passion for athletic drama to a new arena beyond motor racing. While brief, Julie Wood stands as a charming, niche entry in European comics, showcasing Graton's versatility and his ability to craft a compelling sports story around a female protagonist.
