Description




Some of you might know this series already, from my earlier scan, Valerian - The New Future Trilogy, and the few other issues that came out in English before.

But now Cinebook have started releasing the full series, so it's time to do a pack for it.

And remember, they are out, so BUY THEM, Cinebook need support, so we can get the rest out too :)


Here is a little info about the series, though mainly focused on the New Future Trilogy:

Valerian: The New Future Trilogy marks a turning point in the long running graphic novel series created by Jean-Claude Mezieres and Pierre Christin. Fans of Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" will immediately recognize Mezieres images, right from the cover. The flying taxi speeding through the mega-city is one of the defining elements of the movie; and, it was inspired by this book. In fact, Mezieres was one of the conceptual artists for the film, along with Jean "Moebius" Giraud.

Valerian chronicles the adventures of Valerian and Laureline, spatio-temporal agents for the Galaxity. What does that mean? They are secret agents and troubleshooters who work throughout time and space. This volume marks a turning point, as they no longer have Galaxity resources to aid them. This volume consists of three stories: "On the Frontiers", "The Living Weapons," and "The Circles of Power. "On the Frontiers" deals with a rogue spatio-temporal agent who wishes to bring about the destruction of Earth, in order to recreate the Galaxity. "The Living Weapons" tells the tale of a pointless war between two factions, and a troup of actors caught in the middle. "The Circles of Power" relates the story of political corruption and maneuvering. Each story is well told, with doses of humor and irony, and a wonderfully light graphic style. Mezieres fills his worlds with wonderfully bizarre aliens and lush architecture and scenery. His work is somewhat stylized, but very engaging. Christin is a masterful writer who imbues the dialogue with wit and intelligence.

The Valerian series has been highly influential in the world of European graphic novels and science fiction. Its influence has even reached these shores, particularly in the world of Star Wars. There are numerous similarities in the look and population of both series, although Valerian predates Star Wars. From the design of Valerian's ship, to the strange alien creatures, you will find many familiar things.


And now, to the good stuff, the scans:

Cinebook scans


Valerian and Laureline 01 - The City of Shifting Waters:
Galaxity, capital of the Terran Empire in the 28th century. Valerian and Laureline are agents who protect mankind from rogue time travellers. Now they are sent to New York in 1986 to intercept Galaxity’s worst megalomaniac, Xombul—except that in 1986, the world is in ruins and New York is about to be swallowed by the ocean. The two agents must navigate the shifting waters of the past to make sure that the future will exist.





Valerian and Laureline 02 - The Empire of a Thousand Planets:
Valerian and Laureline are exploring Syrte, capital planet of a system of 1,000 worlds. Their mission is to discover whether the Syrtians could present a danger to Earth. What they find is a decaying empire led by decadent aristocrats, a population ripe for revolution, and a mysterious caste of masked wise men who discreetly pull the strings from hidden fortresses. Swept up by the winds of history, the agents of Earth will have to choose a side…




And from the back of the book, a few similarities between Star Wars and Valerian :) Guess Lucas or some of the design people on Star Wars got "inspired" :)



Valerian and Laureline 01 - The City of Shifting Waters - Extended Edition!
Here is a little surprise that I bet that noone saw coming, Valerian and Laureline 01 - The City of Shifting Waters - Extended Edition!

Most people don't know this, but almost all printings of this book are actually missing 5 pages, and have 2 changed pages to make up for the cut.
I put a little info in a txt file in the book about why, so read the text popup for once :)
