Ravian

In the late 1970s, Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières, the celebrated duo behind Valérian, launched Ravian for Dargaud Benelux's Oberon imprint. This short-lived, three-issue series follows a lone space pilot navigating a gritty, politically charged universe, offering a more grounded and introspective counterpoint to their famous time-traveling epic. Though its run was brief, Ravian showcases the pair's signature blend of sharp social commentary and dynamic, cinematic science-fiction art.
