Carthago

From 2010 onward, Splitter Verlag's Carthago is a sprawling, deep-sea eco-thriller that plunges into the hidden world of a prehistoric, monstrous creature lurking in the ocean's abyss. Written primarily by Christophe Bec and Resel Rebiersch, with atmospheric art from Ennio Bufi, Éric Henninot, and Milan Jovanovic, the series combines scientific mystery with visceral adventure. Its 15-issue run matters for its ambitious, long-form exploration of humanity's fragile relationship with ancient, unknowable forces—a modern take on the lost-world genre that keeps readers hooked on the tension between discovery and survival.
