Le démon des glaces

Synopsis of Le démon des glaces

In 1899, a ship navigating the Arctic Ocean comes across a stunning sight: a ghostly, abandoned vessel perched high atop an iceberg. Soon, the sailors' own ship is dispatched via a mysterious explosion. Jerome Plumier, whose search for his missing uncle, the inventor Louis-Ferdinand Chapoutier, brings him into contact with sinister, frigid forces, heads towards the North Pole, where he must contend with mad scientists, monsters of the deep, and futuristic machines. This iconic graphic novel by Jacques Tardi is a keystone of his oeuvre, blending retro-sci-fi, adventure, and mystery in a style reminiscent of Jules Verne.
