Tin Lizzie #1

A gleaming golden Model T Ford barrels across a wooden bridge in "De mooiste van Ponchatowla," the opening chapter of this charming Belgian album series from Strip2000. On the cover, a broad-shouldered driver pushes the vintage automobile forward while a passenger waves with gleeful abandon, a locomotive visible in the misty background suggesting a thrilling race against the rails. Artist and inker Dominique Manféry, with vibrant colors by Julia Weber, delivers a warmly rendered scene full of early-automotive adventure and Southern American atmosphere that sets an irresistible tone for this 2015 series.
