Now, this caught my attention!
I don't know if this is the proper forum for it. If not, mod's move it to the appropriate place.
Over here in Europe, one of the better known Comic book series (Graphic Novel series) is of French origine, about racing driver Michel Vaillant. The serie already started in the late 50s.
From what I have figured out, only the very first album has been available in an English translation and that is an adventure taking place in 1958 and included the Indy 500!
The 11th album of the series also had an Indianapolis adventure and that was taking place in 1965.
Recently, the publisher announced a new kind of sidestep series from the original series that would deal with research on racing history.
The very first album within this series is dealing with the mystery of what really happened during the 1966 Indy 500.
Apart from the confusion about "did Clark loose a lap and if so when" I can't think about another mystery during the 1966 Indy 500 worth extensive research resutling into a Graphic Novel.
But, anyway, I have something to look forward to to be added to my library.
I doubt there will be many out here who have an understanding of any other European languages than English, otherwise you might be able to do the same.
Anyway, I felt this upcoming Indy related graphic novel curious enough to at least share the news about it with you. If appreciated, I will provide updates if there is moer info and/or details to be told.
