“Book Descriptions: Du grand Ouest américain aux territoires les plus reculés du bloc communiste, le scénariste Pierre Christin raconte ses voyages des deux côtés du rideau de fer, chose rare du temps de la guerre froide. Il évoque ses rencontres avec d'éminents auteurs tels que Jean-Claude Mézières, Enki Bilal et Jean Giraud – dit Moebius. Entre Flower Power et catastrophe nucléaire de Tchernobyl, le scénariste de "Valérian et Laureline" se dévoile au fil d'une histoire subjective de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, tracée en parallèle de son parcours artistique admirablement mis en images par Philippe Aymond.
Prolific comic book author Pierre Christin, who penned the game-changing classic sci-fi series "Valerian and Laureline," switches to autobiography here to bring us the thoughtful, enlightening tale of two vastly different lands, the American West during the civil rights movement and the counter-culture phenomenon, and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War, as seen through the eyes of an inquisitive French artist and journalist with a love for travel, intellectual query, gypsies, and jazz. Christin and his faithful road companion and "Valerian" co-creator Jean-Claude Mézières drive across landscapes ranging from Utah to Bulgaria in a series of cars each more dilapidated than the next, encountering people and adventures of all kinds in a story that is part travel journal, part geo-political documentary, and part artistic coming-of-age.” DRIVE
