A one-shot Valerian adventure with pencils, inks and color by Lauffray!
This is the second stand-alone "elseworlds" story based upon Christin and Meziere's classic series.
From the publisher:
As the result of an unfortunate game of cards, the Shingouz lose ownership of their company, Shingouzlouz, Inc. It so happens that this company, thanks to a vague interpretation of intergalactic laws, is the owner of the earth! Valerian, distracted by his upcoming retirement as a spatio-temporal agent, and Laureline must rectify this blunder and convince the new owner, a certain Sha-Oo, the "Thirster After Worlds," to return it to Galaxity.
In this album, the writer of Vieux Fourneaux and the artist of Long John Silver offer an offbeat, jubilant bit of science fiction in the manner of Les Héros de l'équinoxe and Bienvenue sur Aflolol. A real treat!
