Best books to learn Valerian and Laureline, in order
Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres began Valerian in Pilote in 1967 and finished it in 2010, twenty-one albums later. It is the series that taught European comics what a lived-in galaxy looks like, and the debt owed to it by Star Wars and by Luc Besson's The Fifth Element — for which Mezieres actually did design work — is obvious enough that it has been argued in print.
