1st printing. Story and art by Julie Doucet. Julie Doucet is an artist who has mastered many voices and styles, from her groundbreaking early comic-book series Dirty Plotte and the classic graphic novel My New York Diary, to her linocut and collage work, to her impeccable zines, prints, and other ephemera. In Carpet Sweeper Tales, we see this multi-faceted artist combine her many talents into one genre-defying masterwork. Here she revisits the comics form, pulling images from 1970s Italian fumetti, or photonovels, to create her own collage comics, dwelling on femininity and the modern world. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 184 pages, B&W. Cover price $15.95.
