The first two volumes, released at the end of March 2024, are devoted to Mars and the gas giant Jupiter.
The exploratory mission continues with a third volume, released on October 2, 2024, dedicated to “Saturn, the guardian of the rings”.
Five more, devoted to Uranus, Neptune, Venus, Mercury and the Sun will follow by 2027.
Eventually, eight volumes will make up the whole of this new collection devoted exclusively to the Solar System. Each issue is a voyage of initiation to discover a planet, its special features, its unique place in the solar system and its astonishing secrets.
In this collection, scripted by Bruno Lecigne, we follow a team of astronauts and Earth scientists who set off to circumnavigate the Solar System and study the different planets. As such a journey is impossible in the real world, the authors have created an extraterrestrial character, the pilot of a ship with unrivalled technology, who will transport the explorers.
Aside from this purely narrative license, the entire collection has been supervised by expert scientists at Observatoire de Paris - PSL, to offer an exciting introduction to our planetary environment.
A dossier designed and written by astrophysicists also accompanies each album, completing what the comics could not detail.
