Carcajou takes the reader to the Canadian Far North at the end of the 19th century. The abundance of warm colors, the outrageous expressiveness of the characters, the semi-realistic and vivacious line of Djilian Deroche places Carcajou in the vein of the new westerns, flooding comics for several years, dusted off from the clichés established by the sacrosanct Jean Giraud aka Moebius.

A gallery of colorful characters confronted by men without limits, capable of the greatest ferocity and the greatest abuses struggle.
