About the series
Based on the novels by Georges-Jean Arnaud, La compagnie des glaces is a post-apocalyptic saga set in a world locked in a new ice age, where a powerful railway company holds absolute control over the surviving population. Published by Dargaud from 2003 to 2009, this 15-issue series was adapted into comics by a talented team of European artists, most notably the writer Jean-Charles Gaudin. The comics brought the gritty, frozen world of the original French sci-fi classic to a new generation, standing as a key example of the bande dessinée's ability to translate sprawling novels into compelling visual narratives.
