Description
EISNER AWARD WINNER | Best Academic/Scholarly Work About Comics | 2019 One of the most influential women in independent comics, Julie Doucet, receives a full-length critical overview from a noted chronicler of independent media and critical gender theorist. Grounded in a discussion of mid-1990s media and the discussion of women's rights that fostered it, this book addresses longstanding questions about Doucet's role as a feminist figure, master of the comics form, and object of masculine desire. Doucet's work is hilarious, charming, thoughtful, brilliant, and challenging, even three decades on. Anne Elizabeth Moore is an award-winning journalist, bestselling comics anthologist, and internationally lauded cultural critic. Her most recent book, Body Horror, is on the Nonfiction Shortlist for the 2017 Chicago Review of Books Nonfiction Award, was named a Best Book of 2017 by the Chicago Public Library, and was nominated for the 2018 Lammys. She teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the College for Creative Studies. She was born in Winner, SD, and resides in Detroit with her cat. Praise for Body Horror: "[Body Horror is] scary as fuck and liberating. . . . Moore connects the dots that you did not even think were on the same page." -Viva la Feminista
Julie Doucet is one of the great comics artist of the late 80's and 90's. She mostly left the comics world in the early 2000's due to the comics scene being a big 'boys club.' Her work has never been fully critically assessed. Julie Doucet's aesthetic sensibility was influenced by and was in turn influential on Punk. Drawn & Quarterly will be releasing Julie Douet's The Complete Dirty Plotte this fall. There will be a lot of general publicity & marketing around Julie Doucet from Uncivilized Books and Drawn & Quarterly leading to high visibility. Anne Elizabeth Moore has been documenting and writing about the alternative and Punk music & comics scenes for over two decades. She is one of the leading historians on this topic. Anne Elizabeth Moore has several books under her belt and has contributed to countless publications: from Punk Planet to the LA Review of Books. Anne Elizabeth Moore is also a noted critical & gender studies author.
