Description
Point Central is a multicultural space station that serves as a sort of United Nations to the galaxy. Tasked with protecting the new ambassador from Earth, Valerian is kidnapped alongside his charge in a lightning commando attack. It's up to Laureline to do all the heavy lifting and slog through the seedy bowels of the station as she tries to locate and rescue them - and figure out who kidnapped them and why.Tags

When a kid I really lilked all those different kinds of beings co-inhabiting this weird space station. I still enjoy reading the book every now and then, and in some ways the critique aimed at how the world is managed is still valid.
Think this book was (quite loosely) the one the movie was based on. Some really awesome artwork in here.
Rumtiden, engang
Vi følger rumtidsagenterne Linda og Valentin.
Jordens ambassadør til Navlen planlægger et kup, men han og Valentin bliver bortført af Skyggerne. Linda følger efter, hjulpet af en gnavpotveksler fra Bluxt, en protokoloberst og de pålideligt feje og begærlige Shingouz'er.
Udmærket tegneserie med en del politisk spil
