Michel Vaillant Nouvelle saison #6

The sixth volume of Michel Vaillant's "Nouvelle Saison" brings the series roaring into 2017 with "Rébellion," a title that crackles with tension right from the cover. Marc Bourgne and Benjamin Benéteau's artwork places two prototype racers — including the iconic Vaillante livery — side by side in a wheel-to-wheel battle beneath the legendary Dunlop bridge, the whole scene bathed in a blazing orange sunset that gives the confrontation an almost cinematic intensity. Written by Philippe Graton and Denis Lapière, this entry in the long-running French motorsport series looks every bit as charged as its rebellious name suggests.
