Valerian and Laureline #18
"In Uncertain Times" marks a standout entry in the Valerian and Laureline series, with Pierre Christin and Jérôme Saincantin crafting a story where cosmic forces—Satan and the Holy Trinity—converge on the powerful corporation Vivaxis, each seeking influence through a surprising alliance. Jean-Claude Mézières’ iconic art, with its precise inks and vibrant colors by Évelyne Tranlé, brings this high-stakes interdimensional intrigue to life, as Valerian and Laureline are drawn back into their quest for Galaxity, guided by revelations from the most unexpected sources. The cover, also by Mézières, captures the story’s surreal tension with its striking, otherworldly composition.
