Valerian

An apparently simple mission – apprehending a speculator-droid – turns into a race against time when the Shingouz drop in uninvited mid-arrest, begging Valerian and Laureline for protection against someone who means to kill them. To the agents' surprise, it's an old friend who soon pops up in hot pursuit, guns blazing. The ensuing shoot-out does little to simplify an already complicated situation: our heroes' favourite information brokers have managed to ... lose Earth in a card game!

Mathieu Lauffray has illustrated, among others, the outstanding Long John Silver, as welll as Prophet, the script of which he has also handled since Volume 3. He has worked as a concept artist for the cinema (Brotherhood of the Wolf, Vidocq,10,000) and video games industries (Alone in the Dark 4). Wilfrid Lupano came to bandes dessinées through a chance encounter in 2000, but has since produced some 40 scripts; in 2014 he created the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Les Vieux Fourneaux.
