Written by Dino Stamatopoulos. Art and cover by Leah Tiscione.

Trent is a light tragedy with music about the dangers of Hope and the delusions of Love. When Bob and Doris lose their baby boy, Trent, to a foolish mistake, they fall back on the old optimism of the classic musical. Singing their pain away and defying their doubts, their love of Trent teaches them that just because someone is gone it doesn't mean you stop loving them. Written by Dino Stamatopoulos, the writer and actor who immortalized Starburns on Community, and illustrated by Leah Tiscione, with a complete, free, downloadable soundtrack featuring the singing voices of Scott Adsit, Britta Phillips and Jay Johnston, bathe in the glory that is the graphic novel that launched Starburns Industries into comics.

Volume 4 - 1st printing.

Written by Pierre Christin. Art and cover by Jean-Claude Mezieres.

Fourth volume of the collection: return to Earth, and some great upheavals in the characters' lives, are on the menu for the best titles of the series. This volume contains books 9 to 12, two unmissable two-parters that represent a turning point in the story of our agents, and which are widely considered by critics and readers alike to be the pinnacle of the series. Characterised by a return to 20th century Earth, these two stories are suffused with incredible melancholy and poetic charm, and force Valerian, the action man, to face his limitations. As the real date neared 1986, final year of our world according to the authors, Pierre Christin reconciled fiction and reality with consummate skill and daring, sweeping aside the status quo and sending his heroes down a completely new path.

Hardcover, 9-in., X 12-in., 216 pages, full color.

Cover price $29.99.

Volume 5 - 1st printing.

Written by Pierre Christin. Art and cover by Jean-Claude Mezieres.

In this volume of the Collection you will find books 13 to 15, and our heroes' life has been irretrievably changed with the disappearance of future Earth and Galaxity. Lacking work, they become freelance spies in the 80s in On the Frontiers. Lacking money, they're reluctant arms dealers in The Living Weapons. Lacking options, they turn investigators slash bait on corrupt Rubanis in The Circles of Power. The apparent descent into hell of the two former agents is the chance for the authors to study the ambiguities of our world, either directly or through the lens of alien civilzsations; along with the ambiguity of the titular character, saved from a fall from grace by his ever irreproachable partner.

Hardcover, 9-in., X 12-in., 208 pages, full color.
