Les Foudres d'Hypsis (Valérian, #12)

Pilote spécial Valérian

A propos de Valérian

Xombul, de gevaarlijkste gevangene van Galaxity, is gevlogen. Hij wil

 zich tot dictator van de hele Melkweg opwerken. Met een tijd-ruimte

 machine, die hij op zijn vlucht gestolen heeft, kan hij zich vrij

 bewegen in de geschiedenis. Ravian en Laureline volgen Xombul met

 hulp van de Tijd-ruimte dienst tot in het New York van het jaar 1986:

 een ruïnestad die door een waterstofbommenexplosie grotendeels

 verwoest is, zodat er nog weinig overlevenden zijn.

Het woedende water

Prolific comic book author Pierre Christin, who penned the game-changing classic sci-fi series "Valerian and Laureline, " switches to autobiography here to bring us the thoughtful, enlightening tale of two vastly different lands, the American West during the civil rights movement and the counter-culture phenomenon, and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, as seen through the eyes of an inquisitive French artist and journalist with a love for travel, intellectual query, gypsies, and jazz. Christin and his faithful road companion and "Valerian" co-creator Jean-Claude Mézières drive across landscapes ranging from Utah to Bulgaria in a series of cars each more dilapidated than the next, encountering people and adventures of all kinds in a story that is part travel journal, part geo-political documentary, and part artistic coming-of-age.

East-West

This third book of the collected edition contains volumes 6 to 8: Ambassador of the Shadows - the story that directly inspired Luc Besson's film - On the False Earths and Heroes of the Equinox. Over the course of these titles, among the finest in the series, Laureline takes her rightful place as the brains of the outfit, while Valerian fully embraces his role as anti-hero: always brave, but often a bit out of his depth. You will also find the end of the interview with Luc Besson and the authors, and an in-depth portrait of Jean-Claude Mézières, the artist.

Valerian - The Complete Collection - Volume 3

Fourth volume of the collection: return to Earth, and some great

 upheavals in the characters' lives, are on the menu for the best

 titles of the series. This volume contains books 9 to 12 - two

 unmissable two-parters that represent a turning point in the story of

 our agents, and which are widely considered by critics and readers

 alike to be the pinnacle of the series. Characterised by a return to

 20th century Earth, these two stories are suffused with incredible

 melancholy and poetic charm, and force Valerian, the action man, to

 face his limitations. As the real date neared 1986, final year of our

 world according to the authors, Pierre Christin reconciled fiction

 and reality with consummate skill and daring, sweeping aside the

 status quo and sending his heroes down a completely new path. This

 book is introduced by several articles of the recently departed Stan

 Barets.

Bienvenue Sur Alflolol (Valérian, Agent Spatio Temporel)

L'Empire des mille planètes (1971) et L'Ambassadeur des ombres (1975) comptent parmi les épisodes les plus marquants du chef-d'oeuvre qu'est Valérian. Dans le premier titre, les auteurs jettent les bases de la série, introduisant des éléments que l'on retrouve dans le second, magnifique éloge de la diversité où passe un véritable souffle cosmique. C'est plus particulièrement ce dernier album qui a nourri Luc Besson pour l'adaptation cinématographique de la série, qui sortira le 26 juillet dans le monde entier.
