| The true master of the force..



Jean-Claude Mezieres is a french comic strip artist. Most of people outside of France dont know him.. But when i was kid i remember reading his Valerian and Laureline adventures and later on, when starwars went out, i had like a "deja-vu" feel...
Well, truth is Mezieres was THE inspiration for the famous series and still is, but master Lucas refuses to recognize the facts.. ( i still like his work no matter what)
Im just spreading the word, like many of other Mezieres fans did bfore me... but ill just let the picts speak for themselves...
