MÉZIÈRES (Jean-Claude) & CHRISTIN (Pierre), VALÉRIAN, agent spatio-temporel. Les Mauvais Rêves Publisher: Dargaud Year: 2000 Collection : Valérian Format : Large-format hardback album Printing : Printed in France, February 2000 ISBN : 2-205-04880-5 Mention : First edition Les Mauvais Rêves is an essential album in the Valérian series, often considered one of the most accessible for discovering the universe while remaining fundamental to its overall understanding. Conceived as a chronological entry point into the saga, the album looks back at Valérian's origins, his meeting with Laureline and the founding principles of the space-time service. Christin lays the conceptual foundations of the series - time travel, paradoxes, social criticism - while Mézières delivers a broad, legible and emblematic drawing style, particularly striking in the forest and medieval adventure scenes. A pivotal album, both introductory and structuring, much appreciated by readers and collectors alike. A very fine copy
