Valerian und Veronique #5

This fifth volume of the German-language Valerian und Veronique series collects the story 'Die Vögel des Tyrannen' (originally published as 'Les Oiseaux du Maître'), continuing the time-traveling adventures of the titular spatio-temporal agents. The narrative follows Valerian and Veronique as they confront a tyrannical ruler who uses trained birds as instruments of control, blending Pierre Christin's intricate plotting with Jean-Claude Mézières' distinctive sci-fi artwork. Originally released in French in the 1970s, this Carlsen Comics edition presents the tale in its German translation for the first time in collected form.
