I’ve written a two-part obituary about Jean-Claude Mézières, the great cartoonist behind the science fiction series Valerian, om which worked with Pierre Christin and his sister Évelyne Tranlé. Find the first instalment, in Danish, in the book section of Information (warning: firewall), the second is in English and at The Comics Journal (free to read!)

Radio Rackham: Jean-Claude Mézières
I Radio Rackham har vi svært ved at komme os over Jean-Claude Mézières’ bortgang, så vi har lavet et ekstra langt afsnit hvor vi gennemgår alle de fantastiske Linda og Valentin-albums, han var med til at berige os med og, nåja, også de elendige der tegnede anden halvdel af karriereren. Til slut mindes vi ham personligt i nogle erindringsglimt. Tun ind og lyt med, hvis du har kærlighed til stoffet, eller hvis du (endnu) ikke har!
Nåja, og læs mere på Nummer9.
