MÉZIÈRES (Jean-Claude) & CHRISTIN (Pierre), Valérian. Metro Châtelet direction Cassiopée Publisher: Dargaud Collection: Valérian, agent spatio-temporel Year / legal deposit: 1980 ISBN : 2-205-01685-1 Edition : full-color hardcover album, original Dargaud edition Format : approx. 32 × 24 cm An emblematic album in the Valérian series, brilliantly blending science fiction and contemporary Paris. The plot begins in the Paris metro at Châtelet station, before shifting to the space-time dimensions so dear to the Mézières/Christin duo. The album is renowned for its very "1980s" atmosphere, and for the major influence it would later exert on the SF imagination (architecture, transport, futuristic urban worlds). A fine copy, with no apparent major defects.
