Le syndrome de Munchaüsen

Emmanuel Proust’s Le syndrome de Munchaüsen, launched in 2003, is a single-issue French comic that takes its title from the psychological condition of factitious disorder. The series explores the eerie and unsettling territory of a parent who fabricates or induces illness in their child for attention, weaving a tense, intimate psychological drama. With its concise, self-contained story, this one-shot stands as a focused, standalone work within the European bande dessinée tradition, notable for its unflinching look at a disturbing real-world syndrome.
