Graton: A dream comes true

Phiippe Graton, the son of Michel Vaillant’s creator Jean Graton, is attending the WTCC race weekend in Portugal to watch Alain Menu playing the part of his father’s comics character.

“It is a very strange feeling to be alongside Michel Vaillant in flesh and blood. But when you work on the script for a comic book, you are used to mix fiction and reality…” Graton said.

“What is happening here is like a dream coming true and I wish to thank the people who made all this possible: Eric Nève and the Chevrolet team, Eurosport Events and especially Alain Menu, who agreed to personify Michel. And I have to say that he proved himself perfect for the part.”
