Manoeuvres
The first time around, Manoeuvres was meant strictly as a one-time exercise, a limited edition, style-conscious, oversized forum for Charron, Blais and Ducharme to highlight many of the more interesting figures and trends in Montreal’s thriving underground culture.

''Manoeuvres is a fashion and style conscious novelty, at two feet by three feet. The co-editors - Daniel Charron, Jean Blais and André Ducharme - published the first 13 oversized issues from 1987 to 1991, before the demands of time and money became too great. The timing seemed right to bring back Manoeuvres once more.
All aspects of the black-and-white magazine, ads as well as editorial content have been designed by the creative team.''
