Ambassador of the Shadows: Valerian & Laureline

by Pierre Christin, Jean-Claude Mezieres (Artist)

Overview

Point Central is a multicultural space station that serves as a sort of United Nations to the galaxy. Tasked with protecting the new ambassador from Earth, Valerian is kidnapped alongside his charge in a lightning commando attack. It’s up to Laureline to do all the heavy lifting and slog through the seedy bowels of the station as she tries to locate and rescue them—and figure out who kidnapped them and why.

About the Author

Jean-Claude Mézières and Pierre Christin created “Valerian” in 1967 after working in the USA together, one as a cowboy, the other a teacher. While “Valerian” is Mézières’ only comic series, he has worked as an illustrator in many other areas, including designs and sets for “The Fifth Element,” and he was awarded the Grand Prix du festival d’Angoulême in 1984. Christin also works in collaboration with other artists such as Tardi and Bilal and writes novels and film scripts.
