Plankgas #16

A stern, goggle-wearing racing driver dominates the upper half of this striking diamond-framed cover, while a lone small figure walks through a vast hall lined with rows of military vehicles below — the visual contrast between the individual and industrial scale is immediately arresting. Titled "Vuile handen" (Dirty Hands), this 2022 Daedalus release from the Plankgas series pairs writer Antoine Lapasset and Frank Vanzeer with artist Benjamin Benéteau, whose clean linework gives the cover a cinematic weight. The Renault name anchors the composition front and center, promising a story that looks to explore the complicated legacy of one of France's most consequential industrial figures.
