Rat's - Volume 1: On the road to nowhere. P'TILUC Rat's - Tome 1: En partance pour nulle part. Les Humanoïdes Associés, 1995. In-4 hardback, boards illustrated in color. First edition of 1995 for this first volume in the Rat's series, in which P'tiluc transposes his world of marginal rodents into a post-apocalyptic, or at least furiously absurd, epic. We follow a colony of rats forced to leave their now barren territory to embark on a migration fraught with danger and gritty existential reflections. The album perfectly illustrates P'tiluc's talent for blending an aesthetic of dumping and chaos with sharp social satire. His drawing, with its nervous strokes and abundant detail, brings to life rat characters that are both repulsive and deeply human in their failings, confirming his status as a cult author of 90s adult comics.
