Classic motorcars have been featured in movies and pop songs for over seven decades and contributed to the fun of driving historic cars. This book of motor cartoons illustrates the adventure and romance of classic and vintage cars which also have been part of automobile racing history - from Louis Renault, Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari to Kiichiro Toyoda today. From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Grandma Duck, Noddy and Big Ears to Bonnie and Clyde, Thelma & Louise and The Italian Job, comedy and tragedy have always been a big part of entertaining motoring history. These cartoons are accompanied by anecdotes of motoring trivia complementing the extraordinary history of the automobile as we remember it before 'self-drive' electric cars will silently kill off the 'internal combustion engine'.
In 1957, Jean Graton created the legendary race car driver Michel Vaillant, who was featured in a series of short stories published in Tintin magazine. These stories marked the beginning of a long-running adventure saga that continues to this day. This collection includes seven early stories that brought Vaillant onto the scene and made him what he is today. A fascinating look into the origins of a classic, with a vibrant retro style.
The name George Trosley may not be instantly recognizable to many motoring enthusiasts, but his work certainly is. Over the years, people have become familiar with George Trosley's work through the magazine pages of CARtoons, Hot Rod Cartoons, Street Rodder, Car Craft, Popular Hot Rodding, Super Chevy, and many more. His Krass & Bernie cartoon ran for many years as did a "How to Draw" column that is the basis for this book. In Trosley's How to Draw Cartoon Cars, he takes you through the process step-by-step of drawing your favorite cars, starting with the basics such as profiles, point of view, speed, attitudes, custom graphics, and coloring. You learn to draw components such as wheels, engines, and accessories. Then you are treated to step-by-step lessons on many different body styles: Corvettes, Mustangs, pickup trucks, off-road trucks, muscle cars, hot rods, and a few race cars as well. If you are a budding artist, closet cartoonist, or just want to learn how to draw your own hot rod or muscle machine, this book shows you how it's done. Trosley is one of the best in the business today, and this volume will be a great addition to your automotive or art library.
