Michel Vaillant Seizoen 2 #12

The cover of this 2023 Graton release frames the action through a sniper's crosshair — a chilling detail that gives the album its title, Het Doelwit ("The Target") — with two Le Mans–style prototype racecars thundering down a circuit, the blue-and-white Vaillante prominently in the lead. Cover artists Marc Bourgne and Benjamin Benéteau bring real tension to the scene, blending high-speed motorsport spectacle with an unmistakable sense of threat. Written by Denis Lapière and James Vandermeersch, this twelfth volume of Season 2 promises the kind of drama that has kept Michel Vaillant racing — and in danger — for generations.
