Julie Doucet

Bio

Julie Doucet is a French-Canadian cartoonist and artist, best known for her autobiographical works such as Dirty Plotte and My New York Diary. Her work is concerned with such topics as “sex, violence, menstruation, and male/female issues.” In 2018 Drawn and Quarterly published Dirty Plotte: The Complete Julie Doucet, a two-book box set that collects the entire Dirty Plotte comic book series, including the acclaimed My New York Diary, as well as rare comics and previously unpublished material. Her deeply influential stories are candid, funny, and intimate, plumbing the depths of the female psyche while charting the fragility of the men around her. Doucet was active in comics for 15 years before she moved on to other mediums, and her influence is still palpable in comics today.
