«Les Cobayes» is the graphic novel by Tonino Benacquista and Nicolas Barral, published by Dargaud in hardcover (96 pages, in French).
Two men and a woman volunteer to test a revolutionary antidepressant created by a pharmaceutical laboratory. What begins as a routine clinical trial turns into a dark comedy with thriller undertones: the drug triggers unpredictable effects on their lives. A story that blends criticism of the pharmaceutical industry, acid humor and psychological portraiture in panels.
Self-contained album (one-shot) within Dargaud's catalog. Hardcover edition, 96 pages in French.
Recommended for adult readers of graphic novels seeking black humor and social satire with a thriller pace.
