Het midlife monster

Het midlife monster, launched in 1996 by Dargaud Benelux, is a single-issue comic that explores the anxieties and absurdities of reaching middle age through a fantastical lens. While the series has remained a one-shot, its premise—a man literally transforming into a monster as he grapples with his forties—resonates as a sharp, humorous take on a universal life stage.
