Author of the LABOURDET and JULIE WOOD series, with the MICHEL VAILLANT series, JEAN GRATON transposes into comics the golden age of car racing in the second half of the 20th century while describing the sporting, human and industrial aspects of it.
With the Michel Vaillant series, the scenarios emphasize the importance of family. Michel is just one member among others in the Vaillant family.

Jean Graton introduces real characters into his comics (Alain Prost, François Cevert, Jacky Ickx, Dan Gurney).
His sense of composition and movement are the basis of his success. The many cover pages of the JOURNAL TINTIN drawn by JEAN GRATON are proof of his talent for highlighting sport.
Having started in the SPIROU newspaper with the STORIES OF UNCLE PAUL, he was really discovered in 1957 in the TINTIN JOURNAL.
Author of more than 70 albums, JEAN GRATON made it his duty to go to all the circuits in the world to transmit with the greatest possible precision, the races and their respective environments.
The MICHEL VAILLANT series was one of the best-sellers of the famous LOMBARD COLLECTION.
