description Since Les Mauvais Rêves in 1968, and then the first comic book La Cité des eaux mouvantes in 1970, the “Valérian agent spatio-temporel” comic series by Jean-Claude Mézières and Pierre Christin has developped along its 23 issues into a science fiction classic, and even, according to Stan Barets, “a classic of comics and a masterpiece of science fiction”.
