M zi res and Christin have done something that almost no one had done before: after 43 years at the helm, they decided of their own accord to conclude the adventures of their heroes. The three titles in this volume (At the Edge of the Great Void, The Order of the Stones and The Time Opener) bring things full circle and establish the definitive end of the story. No need for tears, though. As the extras explain, the very nature of their universe - full of time travel and the occasional paradox - leaves the door wide open to new possibilities: anthologies of flashbacks, one-shots by other creators, and adaptations in different media, such as ... cinema
I would say the stories and illustrations are just about as good as any comic or graphics novel ever gets. I just wish the publisher would offer a few more volumes.
An outstanding science fiction graphic novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is the first English edition of a classic european series. It has been running for the past 35 years and it tells remarkable stories in an extraordinary setting. Characters are novel like while landscapes are like right out of a modern art design artist. Valerian and Laureline mantain a partnership with romantic components while they travel throughout space time visiting planets and peoples. Good for everybody, especially from 12 years old on.
