The (false?) gods of Hypsis are once again interfering with Human history. Tired of their lower status among their peers, the trinity in charge of planet Earth opens communications with megacorporation Vivaxis at the end of the 20th century – an occurrence Valerian and Laureline’s allies report to the two ex-agents. But to what end did the Hypsians initiate such a contact? And who is the mysterious Sat who, from the depths of Point Central, also endeavours to meddle with Human affairs?

Nice to see  the Jerry Lewis "Nutty Professor" style character in this ~his image has stuck in my memory since I first saw him in the German comic ZACK in the 1970s. mentioning of the current movie may be banned on CBO but not the comics.

lovely art, great story and some bright and colourful colouring!
