24 Heures du Mans #2

This French graphic album from Glénat plunges readers into the legendary 1968–1969 editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a subtitle — Rien ne sert de courir… ("There's no point in running…") — that hints at the dramatic tension waiting inside. The cover, by Daoudi, Papazoglakis, and Paquet, is a beauty: a Gulf-liveried Ford GT40 #6 dominates the foreground in that instantly recognizable powder-blue and orange, while a helmeted driver strides purposefully toward a white endurance racer in the background. For anyone drawn to motorsport history or beautifully rendered bande dessinée, this 2016 volume is a genuinely compelling read.
