Vic and Pol are working for a television network when, one evening, they meet a young Japanese electronics engineer under very unusual circumstances. A friendship is soon struck up, a project drafted, and the newly formed trio is on its way to investigate an underground river. But they find a lot more than they bargained for and become part of a story that began millions of light years away, changing their lives forever.
I opened up this volume and got a shock. I immediately thought “someone else is drawing this!!” I checked the credit again. No, it was Roger Leloup. I then began asking why he had started drawing the book in this style? Nothing wrong with it –it just is not the art I expect from Leloup. Then I read the credit page again to find that this was the very first Yoko Tsuno.
The story is good and, as I wrote, nothing wrong with the art but I am glad Leloup changed it to the style he did.
Still good fun and adventure and it is nice to see how it all started!
