The latest Michel Vaillant book was launched at Grand Lapa Hotel yesterday. The author, Philippe Graton, and illustrator, Benjamin Benéteau, attended the event and unveiled Vaillant’s latest adventure where he makes his second appearance in Macau. This is also the seventh episode of the new edition of Vaillant stories.
Michel Vaillant was created in 1957 by the French author Jean Graton and continued by his son Philippe. The Adventures of Michel Vaillant represents a unique work in the history of comic strips and motorsports.
“Its well-crafted narratives stand up for the fundamental sporting values that have survived all the different trends, and its realistic drawings constitute an exceptional encyclopaedia of 60 years of motor racing”, according to a statement by the organiser of the book launch, the Macau Closer magazine.
