The Vaillante Universe and Jean Graton

Created in 1957 by Jean Graton, the Michel Vaillant universe revolutionizes French automotive comics. At a time when the automobile takes a central role in French society, Graton imagines a fictional team capable of competing with Ferrari, Porsche, or Aston Martin on all the circuits of the world.

The Vaillante brand was born from the author's desire to create a strong and sporty identity for an imaginary French car manufacturer. In the context of the 1960s, when France was seeking its place in the prestigious car market against Italian and German dominance, Graton's creations offer an optimistic and patriotic vision of the French automotive industry, embodied by the Michel Vaillant collection.
