Valerian and Laureline was a French comic series created by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières in 1967 and follows the story of two Spatio-Temporal agents as they go about their adventures through time and space.

As some of you may know, several elements and ideas within the Star Wars saga are quite similar to those originating in this series. While nothing has ever been confirmed or denied by George Lucas, many say that this comic provided a fair amount of inspiration for Star Wars.

So, has anyone here ever read the Valerian and Laureline comics and what did you think of them? Did you enjoy them? Would you recommend them for Star Wars fans? Are the apparent similarities just surface level ideas or seem like more than just a coincidence?
