Valerian. Complete Collection. Book 1

Valerian and Laureline, created by the talented Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières, first appeared in the pages of the magazine «Pilote» in 1967. These original stories immediately became major stars in the realm of science fiction. We are in for... exciting adventures with the space-time agent Valerian and his red-haired partner Laureline, sparkling humor, and the spirit of old-school space opera. Valerian is a great guy, but not an ideal hero. He is late for meetings with his superiors and is not always sure whether to save the world or wait for orders from management, so if you are tired of serious superhero tales – this is the story for you. In his time, George Lucas drew inspiration from «Valerian» when creating «Star Wars», and the famous scene with the princess in a golden swimsuit is not an invention of his, but a reference to an episode of the graphic story.
