About the series
In the mid-1990s, French publisher Vents d'Ouest launched Prisoner of Ice, a three-issue comic series that adapts the chilling atmosphere of the classic horror-adventure video game. Set in a frozen, otherworldly landscape, the story follows a team of explorers uncovering an ancient, malevolent force buried beneath the ice. The series is notable for its stark, evocative artwork and its faithful translation of the game's Lovecraftian dread into sequential panels. Though brief, Prisoner of Ice remains a compelling artifact of the era's cross-media storytelling, capturing a moment when comics expanded the narrative reach of interactive horror.
