Médecin et dessinateur, Charles Masson aborde l'indicible, puisant ses récits dans la dure réalité de sa profession médicale. Avec empathie, humanité et un humour parfois grinçant, il révèle les forces et les faiblesses humaines. Ses dessins rapides et expressifs, ainsi que ses techniques narratives magistrales jouant sur le contraste entre texte et image, suscitent de fortes émotions et invitent à la réflexion. L'œuvre de Masson vise à briser le silence sur des sujets difficiles, confrontant le lecteur à des vérités inconfortables et éveillant sa conscience.
