Michel Vaillant

Belgian website visitor Joris Teck is interested in the spectacular Chevy V8-powered Cheetahs and Bocars.   He's also a longtime fan of the French "Michel Vaillant" comic series. 
 

Joris Teck explains Michel Vaillant to those of us in America who have never heard of him:

"Michel Vaillant is indeed a fictional character, a race car driver who started his career in the late fifties and who is still going strong today.  Here are some of the pages featuring the Cheetah. In this particular story there is a fictional American team called THE TEXAS DRIVERS and they use a Cheetah, Bocar and Scarab. That's how I discovered these cars as a teenager in the sixties!"

 
 
There's not much on the net in English on "Michel Vaillant".  There are plenty of entries in French, though, when you do a "Google Search".
 
New!   Website contributor Bob Engberg found another French sports car racing comic!
