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.

Valérian, Laureline et deux savants étudient une planète divisée en quatre : l'une des "tranches" accélère le vieillissement, l'autre rajeunit, la troisième agrandit, la quatrième rapetisse. Bien entendu, les Terriens deviennent vite eux-mêmes des sujets d'expérience! Valérian, Laureline and two scientists study a planet divided into four: one of the "slices" accelerates aging, the other rejuvenates, the third enlarges, the fourth shrinks. Of course, the Terrans quickly become subjects of experiment themselves!
