Michel Vaillant Collection – Motorsport History in Motion

Discover our officially licensed Michel Vaillant product range, celebrating one of the most iconic motorsport comic series ever created. Since its debut in 1957, Michel Vaillant has blended high-octane racing drama with technical realism, becoming a global reference point for motorsport fans, collectors, and comic enthusiasts alike.

Created by legendary French cartoonist Jean Graton and first published in Tintin magazine, the Michel Vaillant series follows the career of a fearless French racing driver competing at the highest level of motorsport — most notably Formula One. Over the decades, the comic has sold more than 17 million copies worldwide, captivating readers across France, Belgium, and beyond.

What sets Michel Vaillant apart is its unmatched realism. Real circuits, real races, real drivers, and real teams are woven seamlessly into the fictional narrative. Jean Graton personally attended races to study cars, circuits, and mechanics, ensuring extraordinary technical accuracy — a tradition later continued by his son, Philippe Graton.

The Vaillant universe also extends beyond the track. The family-run Vaillante racing team is portrayed as a fully functioning company, facing sponsorship challenges, financial pressures, and technological evolution, mirroring real motorsport history. From the family home La Jonquière to the factory floor and pit lane, every detail feels authentic.

Our Michel Vaillant range features officially licensed artwork ©Dupuis, 2025, showcasing classic scenes, legendary races, and beautifully illustrated machinery from across the series’ rich timeline — including historic eras, salon racing, speed records, and family heritage stories such as Henri Vaillant.
