Antarctica is a mysterious place - an almost entirely uninhabited mass of ice that's simultaneously one of the driest and coldest places on Earth. It's the perfect location to tell a mystery story and that's exactly what screenwriter Simon Birks and artist Willi Roberts are doing in their new comic.
Antarctica, billed by its publisher, Top Cow Productions, as a cross between Stargate and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials novels, tells the story of Hannah, a young engineer whose life is upended when her father goes missing after a trip to the isolated Smith-Petersen Research Station. After living on the streets for a time, she manages to get a job at the same station and hopes to find out the truth about what happened to her dad. Instead, she finds herself at the heart of a vast conspiracy - one that spans more than just our own world.
