The author of the comics travelogues Pyongyang and Shenzhen here turns in an abecedarian compendium of quick, thumbnail comic strip portrayals of a comic-strip sorority of man-eaters that populate his imagination and keep him awake at night. Each of these short strips manages to convey, in one way or another, if not the inevitable domination of man by woman, then, at least the fact that, when it comes to the battle of the sexes, men don’t have a chance. Laugh or cry, the choice is yours. Part of Drawn & Quarterly’s ongoing “Petits Livres” series.
