Julie Wood is sixteen years old when she appears. An orphan, she was raised by her uncle Chris, a farmer from California. Julie has two brothers, Phil and Indy (so nicknamed because of her dream of one day winning the Indianapolis 500). The young American lives only for motorcycling, and her iron will will allow her to have a career start in motorcycling sport as brilliant as that of Michel Vaillant in motorsport. Julie Wood has another point in common with the French driver, her versatility. She shines as well in speed as in endurance, in moto-cross as in rally-raid…
Two years after the end of her own series, in 1980, Julie Wood joined the world of Michel Vaillant in the Paris-Dakar album: she falls in love with Michel’s teammate, Steve Warson. Brought to the fore by the album Steve and Julie, volume 44 of the Michel Vaillant series, the love story of the American couple will experience many and dramatic developments thereafter. Julie will even be the real main character of volume 57, La piste de jade, of which she “trusts” the cover.
