The adventure begins in the year 2720 in Galaxity, the capital of the earth and its galactic empire. Most of humanity is only engaged in programmed dreaming. Dissatisfied with Galaxity and the evolution of humanity, technocrat Xombul sabotages the programming of the dream machines and then flees to France in the year 1000. Space-time agent Valérian is sent to capture Xombul and is trapped in an enchanted forest, but is rescued by the medieval girl Laureline. Valérian continues his search for Xombul with assistance from Laureline…

Album 1

9782205077452 · 1970-04-01

New York, 1986. Left in the past in pursuit of Xombul, Valerian and Laureline find themselves projected into an unrecognizable city, drowned under the waters following a nuclear cataclysm. New cover, new model.

Album 2

9782205076912 · 1971-01-01

On Sirte-la-Magnificent, capital of the Empire of the Thousand Planets, power struggles are worrying the Guild of merchants...

Album 3

9782205046236 · 1972-01-01

Nothing goes more on the planets Ukbar, ravaged by a terrible war of the sexes. Rejecting machismo like feminism, Valerian and Laureline try to reconcile men and women by playing each of his assets: action for the first, seduction for the second. An album full of poetry and humor where we learn that poor Valerian really does not hold alcohol...

Album 4

9782205077469 · 1972-07-01

After a voyage of 4000 years, the inhabitants of Alflolol discover that their planet, renamed Technorog by Galaxity, is subjected to intensive industrial exploitation. Christin and Mézières sensitize their readers to a new idea: political ecology. And Laureline stands out as the leading figure in the series while poor Valerian drags his existential blues. New edition, new model.

Album 5

9782205077476 · 1973-10-01

Valerian and Laureline help a people of slaves to resist the dictatorship of the "Master" relayed by the Birds-Folie. Reflection on oppression and resistance, this album with very political resonances never sinks into the preaching-preach thanks to the humor of Christin, who rejects back to back the two characters – tasty! - of the Marxist and philosopher.

Album 6

9782205076707 · 2017-09-28

In this album, which argues for the self-determination of peoples, the reader amazed by the imagination of Christin and Mézières discovers both Point Central, a formidable artificial construction that serves as a port of attachment to the people of the universe, the delicious Shinguz and the adorable (though grouchy) Transmuter of Bluxte.

Album 7

9782205208719 · 1977-01-01

An original story influenced by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick who sees Valerian – or rather his doubles, since it is multiplied infinitely for the purposes of his mission – crisscrossing space and time in a vertiginous maelström. Mézières is in a graphic form more glittering than ever, and the last box of the album makes an unexpected tribute to Auguste Renoir.

Album 8

9782205211467 · 2023-08-01

Sent from the earth, Valerian is responsible for saving the planet Simlane and has to face three competitors with the appearance of superheroes. Christin returns back to back capitalism, communism and spirituality. We will not say anything about the ultimate ordeal that Valerian will perform with brio or of this delicious end that reveals, once again, Laureline's great wisdom.

Album 9

9782205203790 · 2022-04-07

While Laureline pursues a mysterious quest in the constellation of Cassiopeia, Valerian awaits Monsieur Albert, representative in Paris of Galaxy, the Earth capital of the future, to discuss strange phenomena.

Album 10

9782205077537 · 2017-07-21

Between Earth and planet Zomuk, Valerian and Laureline, respectively, seek to understand the reasons for abnormal appearances throughout the galaxy. Initially disconnected, their two affairs seem to join.

Album 11

9782205077544 · 2017-07-21

Valerian on Glapum't, Mr Albert in London and Laureline in Scotland find themselves, without knowing yet, at the heart of a stupefying spatio-temporal paradox endangering the Galaxy of the future, born on the ashes of the world of 1986, which seems this time not to want to be destroyed.

Album 12

9782205208771 · 2023-03-01

While temporal anomalies are increasing, allowing for the nuclear destruction of the Earth civilization of 1986, Valerian, Laureline and a strange team composed of Shinguz and a Glapum'tien embark on the mysterious planet Hypsis to meet the destiny of the Earth.

Album 13

9782205046656 · 1988-09-01

The sabotage of a Soviet nuclear power plant, the discovery of an atomic mine at the borders of Tunisian Sahara, all of which pose a serious threat to nuclear security. Who is responsible? Valerian and Laureline are in charge of discovering this.

Album 14

9782205077551 · 2017-06-21

Valerian's and Laureline's astronef, gravely deranged, poses in disaster on Blopik. A planet of ill-tuned feudals who are engaged in wars as archaic as well as inexpiable. But what is done in this lost place a caravan of lost cosmic artists with amazing physical properties? And what is Valerian carrying in a sealed container that agitates prodigiously Laureline? It is in this album that a newcomer makes his first performance: the ignoble schniarfeur. Welcome to the cosmic bestiary of Valerian and Laureline!

Album 15

9782205203776 · 2022-02-11

Failed on Rubanis because of broken astronef (and without the shadow of the 700,000 bloutoks necessary for its repair), Valerian and Laureline are looking to know who holds power on this planet. What if it belonged, simply, to the media? A scathing critique of the "telecracy", ultimate power that suffices itself and is played by all others.

Album 16

9782205077490 · 2017-07-21

While on a paradise planet, our favourite space-time agents are bored. But they find themselves quickly in full action, pursued by the Mortis Quartet – the Men in black of space before the letter – while around them the Ultralum war is raging. Any resemblance to the oil crisis and the exploitation of a cheap labour force can, of course, be only a coincidence. Although...

Album 17

9782205077506 · 2018-03-01

Always run by the Mortis Quartet, in charge of a califon as unbearable as Abdallah in Tintin, Valerian and Laureline disembark on Shimballil, which is at cyberkinomax what Hollywood is in the cinema. The album gently scratches the world of 7th Art, its producers and screenwriters. By the way, a certain Pierre Christin hides in this album, will you know it?

Album 18

9782205077513 · 2017-07-21

And there is God again, who is beginning to have it over the heads of these Earthlings. In particular of the clique of leaders of Vivaxis, a multinational specialized in biotechnology and genetic research. God does not hesitate to wet his shirt and come to earth tell them their four truths: that they stop taking themselves for the masters of the world, name of... Finally, name of him! An album in the form of a denunciation of the drifts and other evils of capitalism and the power of shareholders.

Album 19

9782205053739 · 2018-03-01

Marchands travelling in an old space truck, Valerian and Laureline arrive at the limits of the known world, at the border of the universe in formation: the Great Nothing. The two spacio-temporal agents then engage in an expedition with the hope of finding the Earth there, scratched from the space of the cosmos.

Album 20

9782205077520 · 2018-05-01

Embarked on board the ship of Commander Singh'a Rough'a, Valerian and Laureline finally enter the Grand Rien, this unknown space at the bottom of the universe in formation. There, always in search of the disappeared Earth, they will confront the Wolochs, terrifying stone monsters who seem to reign there as silent masters. New fascinating episode of a formidable saga that revolutionized the science of French fiction and which, at the time of its 40th anniversary, will continue exclusively on France 3, with a series of animated cartoons for young people inspired by it.

Album 21

9782205082845 · 2018-05-01

After twenty-two albums of spatio-temporal flights, Christin and Mézières decided to close the saga with a stunning finale, an extraordinary epic in search of the disappeared Earth but also a final surprise for the two heroes. Valerian and Laureline, accompanied as always by a dazzling extraterrestrial bestiary, will first have to triumph over Wolochs, these terrible blocks of inhumanity, to finish in beauty one of the most beautiful adventures of the 9th art.
