O'Malley, Annie Mok, Dan Nadel, Natalie Pendergast, Sarah
Richardson, Jessica Stark, and James Yeh In a self-reflexive way,
Julie Doucet's and Gabrielle Bell's comics, though often
autobiographical, defy easy categorization. In this volume, editors
Tahneer Oksman and Seamus O'Malley regard Doucet's and Bell's art
as actively feminist, not only because they offer women's
perspectives, but because they do so by provocatively bringing up
the complicated, multivalent frameworks of such engagements. While
each artist has a unique perspective, style, and worldview, the
essays in this book investigate their shared investments in formal
innovation and experimentation, and in playing with questions of
the autobiographical, the fantastic, and the spaces in between.
Doucet is a Canadian underground cartoonist, known for her
autobiographical works such as Dirty Plotte and My New York Diary.
Meanwhile, Bell is a British American cartoonist best known for her
intensely introspective semiautobiographical comics and graphic
memoirs, such as the Lucky series and Cecil and Jordan in New York.
By pairing Doucet alongside Bell, the book recognizes the
significance of female networks, and the social and cultural
connections, associations, and conditions that shape every work of
art. In addition to original essays, this volume republishes
interviews with the artists. By reading Doucet's and Bell's comics
together in this volume housed in a series devoted to
single-creator studies, the book shows how despite the importance
of finding ""a place inside yourself"" to create, this space seems
always for better or worse a shared space culled from and subject
to surrounding lives, experiences, and subjectivities.
