The Complete Dirty Plotte by Julie Doucet Paperback

An enduring collection of revolutionary comics from a genre-transforming and critically acclaimed cartoonist

Julie Doucet arrived in comics in the 1990s as a fully formed cartoonist. Her comic book seriesDirty Plottewas visionary both for the medium and for storytelling. Her stories are candid, funny and intimate, plumbing the depths of the female psyche while charting the fragility of the men around her. Her artwork is dense and confident, never wavering in the wit and humour of its owner. Doucet was active in comics for fifteen years before she moved on to other mediums. Her influence casts a long shadow over the medium,Dirty Plotteis quite simply one of the most iconic comic book series to have ever been created.

Dirty Plotte: The Complete Julie Doucetcollects the entire comic book series, including the acclaimedMy New York Diary, as well as rare comics and previously unpublished material; a reproduction of the firstDirty Plottemini comic; essays about her comics legacy and feminist influence by curator Dan Nadel and academic Martine Delvaux respectively; an interview by comics scholar Christian Gasser; and personal anecdotes from Jami Attenberg, Adrian Tomine, and more.

Doucet uses the covers of this two-book box set to present an all-new comic that explores her complicated relationship with femininity and the importance of her relationships with female readers. Astonishingly honest, brutal, and funny,Dirty Plotteis a revelatory journey into a legendary cartoonist’s oeuvre.
