White Death

Robbie Morrison and Charlie Adlard teamed up for this stark, standalone 1998 graphic novel from Les Cartoonistes Dangereux, a meditation on the horrors of World War I. Set in the Italian Alps, it follows a young soldier trapped in a frozen, nightmarish trench, where the line between enemy and ghost begins to blur. Adlard's scratchy, black-and-white artwork gives the story a claustrophobic, visceral power, making it a haunting, anti-war classic from the independent publisher.
