Zentak

In this short-lived series from Dutch publisher Arboris, writer Jean-Pierre Pécau and artist Def explored a grim near-future where a super-soldier program produces a damaged, all-too-human hero. Running just three issues from 1999 to 2001, Zentak stands as a compact, atmospheric European sci-fi comic that packs a dense, melancholic punch. Its limited run makes it a minor cult artifact of late-90s genre storytelling, remembered for Def's moody, expressive art and Pécau's tight, character-driven narrative.
