Joe Bar Team - Volume 5. - Lot 81

Joe Bar Team - Volume 5. BAR2 (Christian Debarre) Joe Bar Team - Volume 5. Vents d'Ouest, 2003. In-4 hardback, boards illustrated in color. 2003 first edition of this fifth installment in the cult saga of the Joe Bar bikers. Christian Debarre (aka Bar2), original creator of the series, takes the reins here after leaving volumes 2, 3 and 4 to Fane. The "gas and bad faith" humor that made the series such a success is here again, featuring the Joe Bar gang's memorable escapades on their mythical machines. Bar2's technically precise line on the motorcycles, while retaining a jubilant caricatured dynamic, perfectly captures the community spirit of the 70s biker world. This album is a return to basics, hailed by series purists.
