Whiteout
Written by Greg Rucka. Art by Steve Lieber.
A murder investigation unfolds in Antarctica’s punishing isolation.

Rucka and Lieber’s four-issue Oni Press miniseries began in 1998. U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko investigates a killing at an Antarctic station, where the weather and distance sharply limit what anyone can do.
Why It Matters
The setting is an active obstacle: clues can vanish, travel is hazardous and every suspect shares the same confined world.
Genre & Themes
Police procedural and survival thriller meet in an extreme environment.
Art & Visual Identity
Lieber’s black-and-white pages make snow, darkness and small human figures crucial to the story’s suspense.
