Universal War One

Denis Bajram both wrote and illustrated this six-issue military science-fiction saga, published by Soleil from 1998 to 2006. Set in a near-future solar system fractured by political tension, the story follows a crew of disgraced soldiers sent on a desperate mission to investigate a mysterious alien barrier that has appeared near Saturn. Bajram’s meticulous, cinematic art grounds the epic, hard-SF premise in a gritty, character-driven drama that helped define the modern French space-opera tradition.
