Maximum & Minimum

In Maximum & Minimum, a single oversized issue from French publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés, a lone astronaut stranded in deep space faces an impossible choice between two alien artifacts, each offering a radically different form of salvation. Launched in 2011, this self-contained graphic novel distills cosmic-scale philosophical tension into a tight, visually striking narrative. Associated with the European tradition of ambitious, standalone science fiction, it matters as a concise, high-concept exploration of human nature and the limits of technology.
