EISNER AWARD WINNER | Best Academic/Scholarly Work About Comics |
2019 One of the most influential women in independent comics, Julie
Doucet, receives a full-length critical overview from a noted
chronicler of independent media and critical gender theorist.
Grounded in a discussion of mid-1990s media and the discussion of
women's rights that fostered it, this book addresses longstanding
questions about Doucet's role as a feminist figure, master of the
comics form, and object of masculine desire. Doucet's work is
hilarious, charming, thoughtful, brilliant, and challenging, even
three decades on. Anne Elizabeth Moore is an award-winning
journalist, bestselling comics anthologist, and internationally
lauded cultural critic. Her most recent book, Body Horror, is on
the Nonfiction Shortlist for the 2017 Chicago Review of Books
Nonfiction Award, was named a Best Book of 2017 by the Chicago
Public Library, and was nominated for the 2018 Lammys. She teaches
at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the College for
Creative Studies. She was born in Winner, SD, and resides in
Detroit with her cat. Praise for Body Horror: "[Body Horror is]
scary as fuck and liberating. . . . Moore connects the dots that
you did not even think were on the same page." -Viva la Feminista
Threadbare draws the connections between the international sex and garment trades and human trafficking in a beautifully illustrated comics series. Anne Elizabeth Moore, in reports illustrated by top-notch comics creators, pulls at the threads of gender, labor, and cultural production to paint a concerning picture of a human rights in a globalized world. Moore's reporting, illustrated by members of the Ladydrawers Comics Collective, takes the reader from the sweatshops of Cambodia to the traditional ateliers of Vienna, from the life of a globetrotting supermodel to the warehouses of large clothing retailers, from the secondhand clothing industry to the politics of the sex trade. With thoughtful illustrations of women's stories across the sex and garment supply chain, this book offers a practical guide to a growing problem few truly understand.
Featuring the work of Leela Corman, Julia Gfrörer, Simon Häussle, Delia Jean, Ellen Lindner, and Melissa Mendes.
Anne Elizabeth Moore explores modern Cambodia and mixes personal
narratives and experience with critiques of history and
globalisation.
