Valerian and Laureline’s ship has crash-landed on an uncharted planetoid. The two castaways quickly discover a vast ship cemetery, leading them to believe that their arrival was not an accident. Before long, they make contact with a population whose sole purpose seems to be to gather and produce food for a mysterious “Master.” The Terran agents aren’t going to be turned into slaves easily, but the Master enforces his will through his terrible agents: the Birds of Madness…
I don’t think there is much arguement against this series being pure sci fi-fantasy.  I love the art and the use of colour in V&L and the stories are chock full of weirdness and humour.  When you see the final panel you’ll know what I mean!
Another classic series–where will this end?!!
