The Perineum Technique

A surreal, darkly comic one-shot from Fantagraphics, The Perineum Technique (2019) is a single-issue oddity by the acclaimed French duo Florent Ruppert and Jérôme Mulot. The book follows a man whose life is upended after a bizarre medical procedure, exploring themes of identity and bodily autonomy with the creators' signature deadpan, experimental storytelling. This standalone work showcases Ruppert and Mulot's ability to blend deadpan absurdism with unsettling, precise linework, making it a cult curiosity for fans of avant-garde European comics.
