Les déjantées #3

The third volume of Maitena's sharp-witted series arrives with a cover that says it all — a woman's face fills the frame in extreme close-up, dark hair tumbling forward, eyes narrowed with knowing mischief as she holds a finger to her lips. Published by Métailié in 2003, Les Déjantées continues its affectionate, razor-edged look at modern womanhood with the same irreverent energy that made the series a pleasure to begin with. If this cover's sly, conspiratorial expression is any indication, the humor inside is just as delightfully unfiltered.
