MÉZIÈRES (Jean-Claude) & CHRISTIN (Pierre), VALÉRIAN and LAURELINE. L'OuvreTemps Publisher: Dargaud Year: 2010 Collection : Valérian Format : Large-format hardback album Printing : Printed in France by PPO Graphic (Palaiseau) ISBN : 978-2-205-06026-3 Mention : First edition L'OuvreTemps marks a key late episode in the Valérian et Laureline saga, a true synthesis of the universe imagined by Christin and Mézières. As the great civilizations of the cosmos collapse and the Earth of the future disappears, one last hope remains: the TimeOpener, a mysterious artifact capable of restoring the balance of time and space. Valérian and Laureline embark on a final expedition, crossing paths with numerous peoples and figures emblematic of the series, in a wide-ranging, melancholy and profoundly humanist adventure. The album stands out for its conclusive tone, rich narrative and spectacular staging, offering a reading that is both accessible and full of resonance for long-time readers. A very fine copy
