Description:

This comic is the Turkish edition of Valérian and Laureline, published by Remzi Kitabevi in 2002 as part of a short-lived series consisting of 2 issues. Printed in Turkish and in full color, this edition is notable for being produced in a format closely matching the original French albums in both size and print quality.

The original series, Valérian et Laureline, was created by writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières, first appearing in the French magazine Pilote in 1967. It is widely regarded as one of the most influential European science fiction comic series.

In Turkey, the series is known as Uzay Zaman Ajanı, and follows the adventures of Valérian (often localized as Valeri in earlier editions) and his partner Laureline. They are space-time agents from the future who travel across different eras and distant worlds, dealing with intergalactic conflicts, paradoxes, and political intrigue.

This first issue, titled Taşkın Sular Kenti, is the Turkish edition of “The City of Shifting Waters,” one of the earliest stories in the Valérian series. The narrative follows Valérian as he travels back in time to a future Earth affected by environmental catastrophe, where rising sea levels have transformed cities and created unstable, shifting environments. The story combines action and science fiction concepts with early ecological themes.

Pierre Christin’s writing introduces time travel, dystopian elements, and social commentary, while Jean-Claude Mézières’ artwork provides imaginative world-building and detailed visual storytelling. The combination of narrative depth and visual creativity makes this story a foundational entry in the series.

As a Remzi Kitabevi publication, this edition stands out for its higher production quality compared to earlier Turkish prints, offering a presentation closer to the original European album format.
