Vacation time, travel time! Spirou and Fantasio are also taking a holiday at the coast. But soon they’ve had enough of sunbathing on crowded beaches. What could be better than renting a small boat and heading out to sea in search of freedom and adventure? However, suddenly the weather takes a turn. In the middle of summer, a terrible snowstorm arises, putting the two friends in serious peril at sea. Like all volumes in the new "Spirou and Fantasio" edition, "The Ice Age Machine" is also released with enhanced features: better paper and print quality, editorial supplementary pages with background information about the album, and rare illustrations.
