Valerian and Laureline #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the second adventure in the classic French sci-fi series, originally serialized in 1971. Agent Valerian and his partner Laureline are dispatched to investigate the mysterious planet Syrte, a world of floating islands and alien cultures, where they uncover a hidden empire and a plot that threatens the galaxy. The story introduces key elements of the series' lore, including the titular empire of a thousand planets and its enigmatic ruler, the Emperor of the Thousand Planets.
In "The Empire of a Thousand Planets," Valerian and Laureline are dispatched to a far-flung interstellar realm where they uncover a hidden cabal of Earth-born rulers exploiting the empire for their own ends—and plotting to invade Earth itself. With the help of defiant space traders, the duo works to dismantle the conspiracy before it can unfold. Written by Pierre Christin and Jérôme Saincantin, and illustrated with precision by Jean-Claude Mézières, this issue features vibrant colors by Évelyne Tranlé and sharp lettering by Imadjinn, all rendered in a cover by Mézières that captures the story’s grand, alien scale.
