Michel Vaillant

Jean Graton’s long-running racing saga returned in the mid-1990s under the Seven Island banner, with a new creative team—including Jacques Großkreuz, Philippe Graton, Guillaume Lopez, and Christian Lippens—joining the original creator to continue the high-octane adventures of the Vaillant family. Spanning 18 issues from 1995 to 2004, this series kept the focus on motorsport drama, technical authenticity, and international racing circuits that had defined the franchise since its 1950s debut. A vital chapter for longtime fans, it bridged the classic era with a modernized visual and narrative approach.
