About the series
A five-issue series from Casterman, Commandant Achab (2013–2014) reimagines the iconic captain from Moby-Dick as a steely, complex figure navigating a richly detailed 19th-century maritime world. The writer and artist team crafted a taut, psychological adventure that explores obsession and command, stripping away literary myth to reveal the man beneath the legend. It stands as a striking, standalone European graphic novel that deepens a classic character with fresh, visceral storytelling.
