Her comic book series \u003ci\u003eDirty Plotte\u003c\/i\u003e was 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, \u003ci\u003eDirty Plotte\u003c\/i\u003e is quite simply one of the most iconic comic book series to have ever been created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDirty Plotte: The Complete Julie Doucet\u003c\/i\u003e collects the entire comic book series, including the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eMy New York Diary\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as rare comics and previously unpublished material; a reproduction of the first \u003ci\u003eDirty Plotte\u003c\/i\u003e mini comic; essays about her comics legacy and feminist influence by curator Dan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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoucet 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.
