Sept #21

Part of Delcourt's acclaimed Sept anthology series, this 2017 entry pairs writer Henri Meunier with artist Étienne Le Roux for a premise as chilling as the landscape it depicts — sept morts-vivants à la conquête du Pôle, seven undead on a march toward the Pole. The cover renders that grim expedition beautifully: a column of ragged, shambling figures trudges through an icy blue wilderness, their tattered Arctic gear and lurching silhouettes suggesting both polar explorers and something far less living. It's a genuinely striking high-concept that merges zombie horror with heroic-age expedition adventure in a way that feels fresh and quietly unsettling.
