Polstar

In this 2001–2002 French miniseries from Vents d'Ouest, Polstar follows a young woman whose life is upended by a mysterious encounter with a powerful, otherworldly artifact. Blending science fiction with a coming-of-age story, the four-issue run explores themes of identity and cosmic destiny. The series is best known for the clean, expressive artwork of its primary artist, which helped define the look of early-2000s European sci-fi comics. Though brief, Polstar remains a distinctive entry in Vents d'Ouest's catalog for its tight, character-driven narrative.
