Mature Readers

120 pages; hard cover; partial color

This 10th anniversary edition features new covers, endpapers, plus a bonus never-before-published 8-page story! Doucet created an iconic body of work in the ten short years she devoted to her trailblazing comic-book series Dirty Plotte. Her comics are densely inked and detailed with a pulsating neurosis from a decidedly female point of view. This is considered to be Doucet's most innovative work, exploring the longings, pressures, and exploits of the feminine subconscious. Nightmarish tales of pregnancy, menstruation, sex changes, and boyfriends haunt Doucet¹s nocturnal psyche with a feverish and surreal pitch.
