Equator Cold (or Froid-Équateur in French) is a science fiction comic book from 1992 written and illustrated by the Yugoslavian born cartoonist and storyteller Enki Bilal. It is the third and final part of the Nikopol Trilogy, started by La Foire aux Immortels (The Carnival of Immortals) from 1980 and continuing with La Femme piège (The Woman Trap) in 1986. The books were awarded with the prestigious Book of the Year Award by LIRE.
[edit] Chess boxing
The book extensively features chess boxing, a hybrid sport mixing chess and boxing. In 2003, chess boxing became a real sport, directly inspired by how it appeared in Froid-Équateur.
