Considered by many to be the most influential female cartoonist ever, Julie Doucet created an iconic body of work in the ten short years she solely devoted herself to her trailblazing comic- book series Dirty Plotte. Her comics are densely inked and detailed with a pulsating neurosis from a decidedly point of view that set the comic-book world on its head when the series debuted. Doucet returns to comics after a 5-year hiatus with a reworked edition of her dream journal My Most Secvet Desive, complete with never- before-published material.

My Nost Secret Desive is considered to be Doucet's most innovative work, exploring the longings, pressures, of the feminine subconscius. Nightmarish tales of pregnancy, menstruation, sex changes, and boyfriends haunt Dorcet's nocturnal psyche with a feverish and surreal pitch.

 

“A very funny mix of reminiscences and dreams, written in exuberant, slightly dented French-inflicted English.” －Ms. Magazine

“Although the core of her comics is autobiography, a lot of Doucet's best work is fantastical. My Most Secret Desire corrals her lyrical 'dream stories' into one volume, transforming stock nightmares into eerie, hilarious catharses...” －Joy Press, The Village Voice

“The honesty is unsettling, but funny, too...it's on the cutting edge.” －Entertainment Weekly
