Christin also works in collaboration with other artists, most notably Tardi and Bilal, and writes novels and film scenarios. While Valerian is Mezieres' only comic series, he's worked as an illustrator in many other areas, including designs and sets for The Fifth Element, and he was awarded the Grand Prix du festival d'Angouleme in 1984. Jean-Claude Mezieres and Pierre Christin created Valerian in 1967 after working in the USA together, one as a cowboy, the other a teacher. The two agents must navigate the shifting waters of the past to make sure that the future will exist. Now they are sent to New York in 1986 to intercept Galaxity's worst megalomaniac, Xombul- except that in 1986, the world is in ruins and New York is about to be swallowed by the ocean. Valerian and Laureline are agents who protect mankind from rogue time travellers. Galaxity, capital of the Terran Empire in the 28th century. Jean-Luc Besson's next film is based upon this classic bande dessinee series.
