The Arctic Marauder (French : Le démon des glaces) is a 1974 comic book by the French writer and artist Jacques Tardi. Set in an alternative late 19th century with Jules Verne-inspired technology, it concerns how ships mysteriously explode in the Arctic region and how a medical student goes there to investigate, finding a connection to his scientist uncle.

When The Arctic Marauder was published in English in 2011, Publishers Weekly called it "a baroque masterpiece" [2] and NPR called it "ur-steampunk — one of the works that laid the groundwork for a genre". [3]
