About the series
In the early 1980s, the French publisher Indira brought the legendary space opera Valerian to a new generation with this six-issue series. Written and drawn by the series' iconic co-creator Jean-Claude Mézières, these stories continue the time-traveling adventures of the titular spatio-temporal agent and his formidable partner, Laureline. While the original Valerian saga had been running since the 1960s, this specific 1982-1985 run represents a distinct, self-contained chapter from the creative team most synonymous with the property. It's a key part of the run that cemented the series' influence on European science-fiction comics.
