A few weeks back, I wrote an article in which I reviewed Pilote #455 (cover dated July 25, 1968). It featured the start of what would become the first “Valerian and Laureline” album, alongside the finale to “Asterix at the Olympic Games.”

There’s much more to the issue to see, so I recorded a flip through.

Here’s the video and I’ll follow up with a few links to spots you might be interested in:
