Over the course of these titles, among the finest in the series, Laureline takes her rightful place as the brains of the outfit, while Valerian fully embraces his role as anti-hero: always brave, but often a bit out of his depth. You will also find the end of the interview with Luc Besson and the authors, and an in-depth portrait of Jean-Claude Mézières, the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Claude Mézières\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePierre Christin\u003c\/b\u003e created \u003ci\u003eValerian\u003c\/i\u003e in 1967 after working in the USA together, one as a cowboy, the other a teacher.
