Chess

In this short-lived but ambitious two-issue series from French publisher Les Humanoïdes Associés (2007–2010), Chess uses the game as a metaphor for a tense, psychological thriller. The story follows a grandmaster drawn into a deadly match where each move has real-world consequences, blending suspense with the cold logic of chess. Though brief, the series is notable for its atmospheric art and the publisher’s signature European sophistication.
