As a follow-up to the discussion of female-positive comix below, allow me to direct you to this article the Montreal Mirror just published about Julie Doucet. A bunch of her old comics are being reissued, which is exciting, though ironically enough the article is mostly about how she’s not really interested in comics anymore, partly because it’s such a man’s man’s man’s man’s world. Sad to hear that even someone who’s devoted much of her life to that arena still feels like an alien at times. But then again, don’t we all. Anyway, it’s a worth a read, and some nice visuals as well.
