Author of the LABOURDET and JULIE WOOD series, and with the MICHEL VAILLANT series, JEAN GRATON transposes the golden age of motor racing in the second half of the 20th century into comic strip form, while describing its sporting, human and industrial aspects.
In the Michel Vaillant series, the storylines emphasize the importance of family. Michel is just one member among many in the Vaillant family.

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