Overview of a French artist's career

This was interesting to me, in that I know about Valierian (the visuals for the movie caught my attention, and I then bought a few of the trades from Comixology) but not the artist.

As noted in the articles you linked, Mezieres was incredibily inflluential for Star Wars movies (maybe today they'd call that plagiarism by George Lucas... ), there are also these short but interesting articles in French you can translate with Google translator or similar, like Reverso:

I can read just enough French to fool myself into thinking I get the gist. Now I need to look up a few words. Thanks!
