Valerian, hors série #[nn]

In "Le Grand collectionneur," Valérian and Laureline join two scientists in investigating a mysterious planet split into four distinct zones—each altering human form in extreme ways. As the team delves into the planet's bizarre phenomena, they soon find themselves caught in an experiment they never expected. Written by Pierre Christin and illustrated with precision by Jean-Claude Mézières, with colors by Évelyne Tranlé and letters by Mézières himself, this 1997 Dargaud issue delivers a sharp, thought-provoking sci-fi adventure. The cover, also by Mézières, captures the surreal tone of the story in striking detail.
