Plankgas #15

A sleek Matra-Simca race car—number 11—surges toward the viewer in this visually arresting 2022 entry in the Plankgas series, its low-slung body gleaming under a moody twilight sky lined with tall pines that evoke the legendary Le Mans circuit. Subtitled De Matra-jaren (1972–1974), the volume chronicles the dominant Matra years through the collaborative storytelling of Denis Bernard and Dieter Van Tilburgh, brought vividly to life by the linework and colors of Christian Papazoglakis, Robert Paquet, and colorist Tanja Cinna. Motorsport fans and comics readers alike will find this a richly atmospheric tribute to one of endurance racing's most celebrated eras.
