Running Man[edit]
Zack Hugh (Banjō Ginga) is the titular "Running Man," the undefeated champion of the "Death Circus" racing circuit and has raced for 10 years. Competitors race in high-speed Formula One-like craft, and spectators bet on the lives of these people for huge winnings. A Marlowe-esque reporter (Masane Tsukayama/Michael McConnohie) is sent to interview the mysterious Zack outside of the track and watches one of his races. He soon discovers Hugh has telekinetic abilities which he uses to destroy the other racers, after quietly observing him in the dark chronically over-using a training interface inside his penthouse. As the race ends in his favor, the monitors in the pit displays "LIFE FUNCTIONS TERMINATED." Mysteriously, though seemingly dead, Hugh continues around the track and is overtaken by a spectral racer. He attempts to employ the same strategy, straining to destroy the opponent, but in truth it is against his own mind. The force of the telekinesis is directed inward which rapidly tears both Hugh and his car apart. The Death Circus is permanently shut down afterwards; the reporter believing the event's true draw was the spectators need to see how long Hugh could beat death.

I always thought Fzero, the futuristic racing game was based off this (or vice versa)

I guess someone found Moebius's color palettes and drawing style.

I was going to say "very Heavy Metal mag", but you were pretty close. That being said, I kind of like it.

Moebius published in both Métal hurlant and Heavy Metal.

I feel like it's a bit of a sledge hammer approach to cyberpunk, but his art has been iconic (at least on SE) to say the least.

Some tasty synthwave by the same composer to go with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rShyYcdWeK0

Trever Something and Lazer Hawk are in the same vein. ("Lazer" because it's light amplification by ztimulated emission of radiation)
