Valérian and Laureline

Valérian and Laureline (originally Valérian, agent spatio-temporel) is a French science-fiction comic series written by Pierre Christin and drawn by Jean-Claude Mézières, serialised in Pilote magazine from 1967 and collected by Dargaud. The two title characters are time-and-space-travelling agents of the 28th-century Spatio-Temporal Service of Galaxity, whose 21 main-series albums helped define European space-opera comics. Mézières's lavish, populated alien-world designs are widely cited as a foundational influence on Star Wars and on Luc Besson's 1997 film The Fifth Element and 2017 adaptation Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (Wikipedia)
