One of the coolest spots in the Bay Area." - Bill C. "Uhuru reflects the history of Oakland in many ways - from furnishing of local styles to continuity with the Black Panthers 'do for yourself' program. I really support the idea of recycling furniture." Some of the furnishing in my college apartment were selected from the hodge podge here.
"Over the years my family has donated and shopped here. Sometimes that sucks, though, because I'll see something great and then before I can make up my mind about it it's gone. "The staff is super friendly and I love that their stock is constantly changing. "Used furniture and housewares in great condition arrive nearly everyday, and bargain hunters like myself buy the furniture like hot funnel cakes at a carnival!" If you're lucky you might even be able to find some quality steals." - Gary L. Buy it on Amazon right here."With a little perusing, this is a great place to find some decent quality, gently used furniture at a reasonable price.

“Valerian – The Complete Collection Vol 1” is a 160-page full color hardcover suitable for all ages. It also includes book 0, Bad Dreams, translated into English for the first time: the very first adventures of our two heroes, published after City and retroactively numbered.Īnd to really get a sense of what’s in store with the Valerian movie, check out this particularly informative trailer below that goes into the vital connection to the original comics. This first volume of the collection contains books 1 and 2 of the series: The City of Shifting Waters – in its original two parts, 9 pages longer format – and The Empire of a Thousand Planets. Christin focused on science fiction writers like Asimov, Van Vogt, Vance, and Wyndham. Mézières focused on such artistic talent as Giraud, Jijé, Franquin, and Mad magazine. In the U.S., Mézières, the artist, and Christin, the writer, were enthralled with wide open spaces, colorful B-movies, and great promise for change, as demonstrated with the Civil Rights movement. In fact, their first work together originated in Salt Lake City, Utah! To get away from the gray and the drab, the two French creators of Valerian went west to the U.S. These comics hit France in the Sixties during a major time of transition: a post World War II culture seeking out fresh new entertainment. There was nothing quite like it in its scope and influence.
Valerian comics, in their day, were groundbreaking. Now, consider the significance of the Valerian comics because, make no big mistake, Valerian set the stage for much that was to come. Keep in mind that director Luc Besson worked with Valerian artist Jean-Claude Mézières on “The Fifth Element.” Indeed, this is a very special case of a major motion picture and its comics source material working seamlessly together.
The main characters are a couple of special operatives, Valérian and Laureline, on a mission to save the world, or should I say, the universe! It is in reading the actual comics that a reader quickly picks up on that refreshing sense of irreverence that is Valerian.
