Date: 2011-08-21 08:10 am (UTC)Maybe I should post about Valérian and Laureline...? It is quite good for a 1970s sci-fi comic. The art is really nice, and the ideas are pretty brilliant. Many of the storylines are really thinly veiled Current Issues in that unabashed 70s way, which I think is adorable. There's a lot of deep-seated irony about power politics and colonization. Laureline is pretty cool, even though they try to get around how she is The Chick by joking about it -- don't joke, change it up! But, you know, she has a gun and an attitude, and I like her. I grew up reading the comics at my school library, but it's very different to sit down and actually read them.
