The World of Valerian and Laureline


I'm a sucker for "universe" books, particularly lavishly illustrated ones. Valerian: The Illustrated Treasury  by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières hits all the right notes. It's a guide to the world of the long-lived French comic series.  It's only flaw is that it's a bit thin. Check out these pages:

  1. Oh no. Now I wants it! Love that series, even though I've only read a few of the books. Amazing art, stories and characters.

    BTW Trey, just a heads-up, I've deleted my old blogspot blog and have a new one at Wordpress: https://swashbucklingplanets.wordpress.com/

  2. I had no idea this existed. I've fallen in love with the comic recently after Nick Kunst gave me some issues. This guide looks lovely.

  3. Boy, that's pretty. Much like Ben I had no idea this book existed. Thanks for the heads up.

    Such a great series, it's really a shame the movie was a bit of a flop and we probably won't see another cinematic effort for the setting.
