La course du rat

Gérard Lauzier’s La course du rat, launched in 1978 with Dargaud, is a sharp, satirical one-shot that skewers the cutthroat ambitions of the corporate world. Through its single, complete story, Lauzier—both writer and artist—turns a cynical eye on the relentless pursuit of success, capturing the era’s social anxieties with his signature blend of wit and acidic humor. This standalone album remains a pointed, self-contained classic of French bande dessinée.
