Chapman #3

The third volume of Glénat's Chapman series arrives with a title — "Splendeurs et drames" — that perfectly captures the dual nature of Formula 1. The cover pulls you straight onto the circuit, where a John Player Special Lotus, car number 5 with Valvoline and Goodyear branding prominent on its sleek black livery, charges through a sweeping bend with a second F1 car bearing down in the background. It's a beautifully painted scene that sets the tone for a chapter balancing the glamour and the heartbreak of grand prix racing in 2013's most compelling bande dessinée tribute to motorsport.
