My Most Secret Desire (2006)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Apr 04, 2006; Writer: Julie Doucet; Genre: Nonfiction; Publisher: Drawn & Quarterly

Writer-artist Julie Doucet offers a dream journal of comics: short summaries of nocturnal reveries and nightmares about everything from losing a friend on a subway to a priceless series of ''If I Was a Man'' fantasies.

Graphic Goal
Doucet's faux-primitive style perfectly renders dreams' messy stream of consciousness.

Comix Effect
She conveys the universal anxiety, dread, and bliss of our sleeping lives.
