Sad to hear, but I'm happy Christin had a long productive life! I watched the V&L francimé (the TV series), and it was fun. It feels a bit kid-oriented for most of the run, and then becomes surprisingly serious and insanely well-animated at the very end.

I know ANN is anime, but it just feels sacrilegious to call the creator of the inspiration for so many different science fiction series, the inspiration for a kids French/Japanese anime.

I have a lot of affection for Valerian. Some Colombian relatives had sent me a Spanish translation of the Valerian: Empire of 1000 Worlds book decades ago. It was eye opening.

Christin's career changed the world, his voice is going to be deeply missed.

Dammit, man. This one hurts. Crying or Very sad

Valerian: city of a thousand suns, the movie, has one of the best opening few minutes of about any science fiction film. It kind of went downhill from there, not doing the original source material justice (especially not Laureline).

We’re V&L a partial inspiration for Dirty Pair?

But good voyages to you, M Christin.
