About the series
In the early 2010s, Dargaud published this 13-issue French comics series, a stark and brutal sci-fi horror story set in a private prison where inmates are forced to perform deadly games for a live audience. Best known for its visceral art and grim atmosphere, the series explores themes of survival and institutional cruelty through its central protagonist, a boy framed for a massacre and sent to this nightmarish facility. It stands as a distinctive European take on the prison-break thriller, remembered for its unflinching tone and striking visual style.
