Sagarmatha

A contemplative, one-shot graphic novel from French publisher Emmanuel Proust, Sagarmatha (2008) takes its name from the Nepali word for Mount Everest. The series uses the iconic peak as a backdrop for a single, self-contained story exploring themes of ambition and the human spirit at extreme altitude. While it stands alone, its focused, atmospheric storytelling made it a notable entry in the publisher's catalog of thoughtful, creator-driven works.
