About the series
In Le Territoire, a six-issue miniseries from Delcourt (2003–2008), writer Éric Corbeyran and artist David Chauvel craft a taut, intimate science-fiction thriller set on a distant, resource-rich planet. The story follows a small, isolated human colony whose fragile peace shatters when a mysterious alien presence begins to disrupt their carefully controlled environment and social order. Known for its atmospheric, claustrophobic tension and Chauvel's expressive, moody art, the series stands as a thoughtful, character-driven exploration of colonization, paranoia, and the unknown. It remains a quietly respected work in European SF comics, showcasing Delcourt's commitment to sophisticated genre storytelling.
