What do you think about those and what are your favorites?
Aquablue series, originally by Cailleteau and Vatine. I also like the later ones, but I feel the storytelling is simpler, for a younger audience.
Yoko Tsuno, by Leloup. Couldn’t get enough of the series as a kid.
Of course Valerian, and there also the earlier works.
I read a lot of Yoko Tsuno as a kid too :) In retrospect, the series was pretty ahead of it´s time by having not only a strong female but also asian protagonist, don´t you think?
Yes, totally agree. A female, asian, technician, pilot, motorcycle rider main protagonist. How cool is that, or was for the times it was published.
Plus the clear drawing style, especially of techy things.
I think I’ll have to look through the copies I own, and buy the ones missing from the series.
