My New York Diary

In a single, unflinching issue published by Drawn & Quarterly in 1999, My New York Diary captures the raw, autobiographical work of Julie Doucet at the peak of her early influence. The comic chronicles the artist's chaotic move to New York City, blending visceral linework with a confessional tone that helped define the alternative-comics scene of the 1990s. A landmark of the mini-comics aesthetic brought to a wider audience, it remains a touchstone for its unvarnished look at creative struggle and urban dislocation.
