I’ve been told that there is a goldmine of French comics and sci-fi but not sure where to start. I have an omnibus of the one that Fifth Element was inspired by but that’s it. Any recommendations?

Valérian and Laureline?
In addition to the Fifth Element, Luc Besson also wrote and directed an actual Valérian movie. It wasn't very good.
That’s it! Yea, I remember Nerdrotic and Razorfist recommending the comic but not the movie
The movie was a huge disappointment except maybe the environment visuals. There's actually an animated series. French-Japanese production that lands somewhere between Saturday morning cartoon and anime. Doesn't follow the original comics either but certainly definitely more enjoyable than the movie.
The English voice acting is... yeaaaaah. But you kind of get used to it in a cheesy way and I couldn't find subbed French.
