Grand Prix #1

Marvano launches Grand Prix with "Renaissance," a gorgeous opening volume from Dargaud that plunges readers into the high-stakes world of pre-war motor racing. The cover, illustrated and inked by Marvano, captures a breathtaking circuit scene: a pack of open-wheel racers — numbered 20 and 16 among them — thunder along a sweeping banked curve beneath a sky of pale gold, while national flags including a Nazi swastika banner and the Italian tricolor line the track, immediately anchoring this story in a charged, politically loaded era. It's a beautifully composed image that promises both the romance of vintage motorsport and the turbulent history racing through its exhaust.
