This might sound a bit odd, but are there any (good) comic book series about cycling? Preferably fiction, not for example a book about Fausto Coppi.

I read one recently. It was about the early times of the TdF but about a fictional rider (if I am not mistaken). This is the French version: https://www.bedeth...teils.html

Wow, okay, thanks a lot for looking! Will definitely buy "Vinkenbrood", looks nice from what I've seen so far.

Vinkenbrood looks nice. It is from the same artist as the book I suggested.

I have about 1000 comic books but I care more about the quality of the drawings and story than about the topic.
