My New York Diary #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together Julie Doucet's raw and autobiographical comics from her time living in New York City in the early 1990s, originally serialized in her zine Dirty Plotte. The book captures her chaotic experiences with dead-end jobs, messy relationships, and the gritty urban landscape, all rendered in her distinctive, unflinching style. It's a classic of alternative comics, offering a brutally honest and often humorous look at a young artist's struggle to survive in the big city.
In "The First Time," Julie Doucet delivers a raw, intimate portrait of a fragile moment in her life, capturing the quiet tension of a relationship teetering on the edge. When Louis shows up at her apartment, shaken and desperate, on the night she’s racing to finish her sketchbook, the emotional weight of the moment hangs thick in the air. Written and drawn entirely by Julie Doucet, this deeply personal entry from her My New York Diary series is a poignant, unflinching look at connection, fear, and the quiet courage it takes to face yourself.
