Top Cow announced a new sci-fi adventure series, Antarctica by Simon Birks and Willi Roberts.
Conceptualized and written by award-winning screenwriter Simon Birks, ANTARCTICA follows the journey of a young engineer named Hannah, whose life imploded the day her father failed to return from the secretive Smith-Petersen Research Station in AntarcticaAlone and on the street, she’s at her lowest ebb when a friend offers help. Retrained as an engineer, Hannah secures a job at the same Antarctic station to search for her father and stumbles headfirst into a conspiracy that threatens everything she’s ever believed.
Creator Birks says “ANTARCTICA takes no prisoners, and I’m excited to share our adventure with the readers. Willi and I have created something exceptional; an incredible experience full of unique twists and turns to keep everyone guessing right up until the end.”
Since ANTARCTICA explores the themes of loss, identity, and sacrifice, artist Willi Roberts knew he had a lot of work ahead of him: “Because the story is science-fiction, emotional and mature, I had to visualize a reality where both the characters and readers can accept that another world exists. Everything lined up and Simon’s scripts inspired my art and my art, his scripts.
Antarctica #1 arrives on July 12, 2023.
