About the series
In this 2022 graphic biography from Daedalus, the legendary Italian cyclist Gino Bartali is celebrated not only for his Tour de France victories but also for his quiet heroism during World War II. The single issue explores how Bartali used his fame and training rides to secretly transport forged documents for the Italian Resistance, saving Jewish lives. With a focus on moral courage over athletic glory, the book positions Bartali among the Righteous Among the Nations, offering a poignant, historically grounded portrait of a champion who raced for more than just the finish line.
