The Locker Room

Front Cover
Humanoids, Inc., Mar 8, 2021 - Comics & Graphic Novels - 128 pages
The middle school has a new locker room and these pubescent boys are about to discover the full effects of hormones and social hierarchy in this unrestrained microcosm. The boys discover the renovated premises in a flurry of embarrassment and mockery: foggy glass windows, pink toilets... and communal showers! It becomes a special place where adult authority vanishes and primal instincts can be expressed in their rawest, most brutal form: aggression, adolescent sexuality, mockery, bullying... What is simulated within the locker room is a micro-society without boundaries, with an uncertain equilibrium—complete with fearsome leaders and lower class losers. Far from a teenage soap opera, this is an authentic testament to puberty.

About the author (2021)

​Timothé Le Boucher, born in 1988, displayed undeniably mature sensibilities even as a child, and consequently, has always had a deep passion for sequential storytelling. In 2009, he was published in his first collection, and immediately drew attention. Not long after, he went on to sign his first complete graphic novel, which he wrote and illustrated himself, the Angoulême-nominated Skins party. Riding this momentum, Timothé went on to create The Locker Room (originally published in 2014 with La Boîte à Bulles), Ces jours qui disparaissent (The Days That Disappear)—which is currently being adapted into a film—and his most recent critically-acclaimed work, The Patient.​
