Prisoner of the ice

The famous aviator Ferdinand Pépin flies tirelessly over the endless ice of the Far North. Braving the elements, he searches for traces of the missing airship of Charles Robinson: Helen asked him. Helen, this Robinson's wife; Helen, the great love of his life. Alone in these cold and hostile lands, Ferdinand, sent to the aid of a man he hates, must first overcome his own demons… In line with his previous titles (Lemon Jefferson, Le Bandit with the Golden Colt), Simon Roussin signs a new adventure revisiting with brilliantly captures the Hollywood imagination of the 50s - we are thinking in particular of Howard Hawks. Broken Wings - Prisoner of the Ice is an authentic album adventure, which can be read with the innocent heart of a child than with the nostalgic eye of a reader of old illustrated magazines. Printed in three tones direct, this book could well be - dare we think it! - that of maturity graphic: continuing his work of reinventing the clear line, Simon Roussin displays all his talent in these very large landscape images polar, and draws the reader into a relentless tale on the edge of the frozen solitudes.
