Cargo

In the late 1980s, Glénat published Cargo, a six-issue French comic series that follows the crew of a cargo spaceship on a long-haul interstellar voyage. The series is best known for the work of writer and artist Jean-Claude Forest, whose distinctive, expressive style brings a moody, lived-in feel to the ship's claustrophobic corridors. Cargo stands out for its quiet, character-driven approach to science fiction, focusing on the psychological and social tensions of a crew isolated in deep space rather than on flashy action. This series is a notable example of the sophisticated, adult-oriented SF that flourished in European comics during the 1980s.
