Plankgas #10

A loving tribute to one of motorsport's most celebrated drivers, this 2016 Belgian album opens the Jacky Ickx series with the subtitle "Rainmaster." Krings's cover renders the young racing ace in his white race suit, arms crossed with quiet confidence, while a vivid red Formula car — number 26, wearing Firestone and Shell markings — sits low on a wet circuit behind him, flags and a grandstand visible in the overcast distance. Dugomier and Krings clearly set the stage for a story steeped in the glamour and grit of vintage grand prix racing.
