Le complexe du chimpanzé

In this taut, three-issue Dargaud miniseries from 2007–2008, writer Richard Marazano and artist Jean-Michel Ponzio (with Marazano also contributing art) explore the psychological unraveling of a man who volunteers for a radical scientific experiment. Blending haunting, atmospheric visuals with a slow-burn narrative, the story questions the fragile line between human identity and animal instinct. A compact, unsettling work that showcases the duo’s skill for cerebral, visually striking science fiction.
