DESCRIPTION:
Hubert is the author of the Miss Don't Touch Me series.
Suddenly, Blanche loses her to what she saw was murder but others only write off as suicide. The Butcher of the Dances is on the prowl for young loose women. In her pursuit, she ends up hired into a luxury house of call-girls. She even becomes quite good at certain lascivious practices while still remaining a virgin! But she also doesn t lose sight of her goal: find the Butcher. She decides to take matters into her own hands. A suspenseful spicy tale as only the French could so lightly get away with, yet deceptive in its depth and realism. Blanche works as a maid along with the only family she knows, her sister, fun-loving Agatha. Paris in the thirties. By the artist of Dungeon Early Years.
A sort of "painted noir" What a strange, strange book, and lovely. Decidedly French, but not at all esoteric, as we Americans typically consider all exports of French culture, typically unfairly. Certainly it's unfair here: Miss Don't Touch Me (originally Miss Pas Touche) is entertainment.

Then came "Miss Don't Touch Me, The Complete Story", which includes both of the earlier volumes. This is my review of "The Complete Story", but I'm posting it on all three book sites as a warning to buyers to be careful.This is a very interesting and rewarding graphic novel. It is well drawn, but more than just "pretty". It is well . "A well-done innocent adult graphic novel" according to R. A. Frauenglas. This is an innocent adult graphic novel, rather than an erotic or pornographic adult graphic novel. While it deals with lascivious activities & is often graphic in its depiction of such, even including sadistic whippings & beatings; it is drawn more in a Sunday newspaper comic supplement style rather than in more erotic or pornographic styles. Even the language is GP-rated. Instead of a graphic novel depicting a book like "The Story of O", it is more like the depiction of one of the gruesome mysteries of Jonathan Kellerman. Kellerman's novels often deal with subjec
From Booklist *Starred Review* It’s hard to imagine a sequential art story better than this in terms of character development, plotting, realization of settings, and interconnection between visual and narrative elements. The coloring alternately provides glowing light and scary shadows in fine re-creations of crowded streetscapes, the boudoir of a black transgender escort, the depths of the murder dungeon, and a nearby chapel. Set in post–Great War Paris, the story’s background detail includes the cir
