Publisher's Synopsis
The Lab is a wordless visual journey into the grim
machinery of exploitation. Its nameless protagonist is held in solitary
captivity, alternately poked, prodded, starved, drugged, and worse. Brief
glimpses of other test subjects, undergoing their own ordeals, are few and far
between. But is all this abuse and isolation purely arbitrary? Or is there a
purpose?
Painstakingly and evocatively rendered, Allison
Conway's debut graphic novel explores the spectrum between lifeless gray and
vivid color. It asks uncomfortable questions about the treatment we tolerate and
the injustices underlying our modern world.
