Le Spécimen #[nn]

Three figures stand at the center of this striking 2019 French graphic novel from Rue de Sèvres: a heavily built, shaven-headed prisoner in an orange jumpsuit and chains, flanked by an armed guard in tactical gear and a doctor in a white coat carrying a clipboard — an uneasy trio framed by prison bars. The blood-red title lettering sets a tense, foreboding tone that perfectly complements the creative team of Matz, Walter Hill, and artist Julen Ribas. Le Spécimen promises a gripping story where law, force, and medicine converge around one very dangerous man.
