Week nine: a wide world of comics

For this week ive read some of Valerian by Jean-Claude Mezieres & Pierre Christin and a little bit of Nikopol Trilogy by  Enki Bilal, both ive know about for sometime now but aside from both of them appearing of film both comics are wonderfully creative and for the illustration equally the same in value.
