Climax

Climax, a four-issue series from Dargaud Benelux (2008–2009), is a taut, self-contained thriller that explores the high-stakes world of competitive extreme sports. Anchored by the visceral, kinetic artwork of artist Stéphane Servain, the series follows a tight-knit group of riders as they push their bodies and machines to the limit in a dangerous, underground race. Writer Frank Giroud crafts a lean, adrenaline-fueled narrative that examines obsession, risk, and the thin line between glory and self-destruction. A gripping, compact read from two established European talents, it remains a cult favorite for fans of gritty, sports-infused drama.
