365 Days: A Diary
An especially nicely put together D & Q volume, this one is sure to be a thrill for all long-suffering fans of Doucet’s comics work, who have been hoping for a new book to dig their teeth into for quite a while now. The wait is over, and how! A cover to cover Quebecois production — written, drawn, edited, designed, published and printed in North America’s little piece of France — 365 Days: A Diary is Doucet délibéré. Think of it: 365 one-page diary strips, a year in the life of Julie, one page at a time, all rendered in pen and ink on paper in Ms. Doucet’s mature, subtractive, expressionistic take on the ligne clare style.
