Loved the artwork and colours, Strong Female Characters(tm); stick with part one, part two is a bit garbled. Pretty good.

simultaneously feminist and not! love this illustration style I wanna devour every other book or comic drawn in it

My reaction to this book is much more complicated than my reaction to Beauty, the second work produced by this pair. Blanche is a fantastically complex woman and I loved her, incredibly; she's fierce, independent, determined. She's flawed - uptight and obsessive in ways that remind me of myself (her twiggy build reminds me of myself as well!). I enjoyed her struggle to get revenge for her sister's murder. However... The entire scene with Prince Charming seemed blatantly out of place to me. Parti...

To be honest, I liked the first part of this book, with the murder mystery, and Blanche fitting into the brothel while still remaining a virgin. but after that it kind of went downhill for me, and while the ending was believable I didn't really care for it or most of how the characters ended up. I'm giving this four and a half stars, because it's really was a well-written graphic novel and the art was interesting but the plot sort of goes south after the second volume.

In all honesty, I was a bit trepidatious going into this book as I knew it was going beyond my normal comfort zone due to the sex, nudity and risque topics. However, I was won over quite quickly and while some of the content did make me uncomfortable, it's a book I would rate mature as it doesn't quite cross over the line that would label it erotic. What we have here is an historical mystery taking place in 1930s Paris. A serial killer is at work and two sisters stumble upon the men plotting wit...

Highly entertaining but nothing about the plot wowed me.

Maybe something has been lost in translation, but I didn't really get into the story. Blanche is way too impulsive, but that character flaw keeps the story moving, so it's forgivable. I was going to give the title three stars until the ending -- it was such a disappointment.My advice is to read parts 1 and 2 then put the book down.

4 stars for the first 2 books, 0 stars for... What. The. Fuck. Was. That. Who ever published that depressing shitty ending that makes no sense whatsoever? Are we even sure it's written by the same author? Blanche's love of her life gets lobotomy and her mama runs off with her money and clothes and then... nothing? Is this really the complete set?

Lovely book! It's something of a melodrama, set in Jazz Age France. There's a slasher killing young women. A woman's sister is killed when she learns a secret. The mystery of her death and the slasher murders seems tied to a brothel, so she takes a job as a dominatrix. All that sounds more unsavory that it really is. Everything is very tastefully handled. The art style is lightly comic and fits the story well, sort of a cross between Jules Feiffer and Herge. The great Josephine Baker figures int...

This is the complete crime tale told with with plenty of color and flair set in Paris in the 1930's. The drawing style is very inviting and entertaining. The story is pretty fascinating, with murder and a bordello and everything underworld. The set up would seem to have been made for romantic comedy, as much of the tale is light enough, but there's plenty of serious and suspenseful action. Maybe it's the art that lightens up what could be a pretty sordid and scary story. The ending surprised me,...

This is so, soo good. Really loved this one.This was originally published in French as two separate volumes titled "The Butcher of the Dances" and "Prince Charming." The first story is definitely the more gripping of the two. When Blanche's sister is murdered by The Butcher of the Dances - a serial killer who targets young women who go out dancing - and makes it look like suicide, she vows revenge. Her only clue is that the Butcher's last target was a prostitute who worked at the Pompadour, a hi...

excuse me what the fucki would have liked this more if they took out the part where a gay man was forcibly lobotomizedalso i have questions about the jo character, the whole book shouldve been about jo actually

Here is the complete Miss Don't Touch Me series, and in one volume. The first half, what was essentially in book one, is the more successful. And while the second part, taking place after the mystery of Agatha's murder and involving "Prince Charming," may start off on a slight imbalance, it nonetheless ends as a equal with the first storyline. I have to say that Hubert doesn't shy away from dark or downbeat (and equivocal) endings.

My husband glances over my shoulder while I was reading this and asked concernedly "What are you reading?""This murder mystery set in 1930's Paris. It's surprisingly really good...though it has more boobies in it than I expected."I leave the rest to your imagination without any spoilers but if you enjoy either murder mysteries, melodrama, racy reads and graphic novels, "Miss Don't Touch Me" is worth your time.

Miss Don’t Touch Me was filled with a series of ridiculous events, but it was also such a fun read. After witnessing the murder of her sister, Blanche makes it her goal to find out the truth about the murders that have been happening in Paris and to also avenge her sister’s death. After being let go of her current job, she joins a high end brothel as a dominatrix-type worker. This ends up being perfect for her since she does not actually want to perform any sexual acts and she finds out who has

Miss Don't Touch Me is how I would describe myself. Don't like to be touched and generally disdain the male sex, so my brother bought this graphic novel for me. And it was awesome! At least at first...The first story, "The Butcher of the Dances" was excellent. An innocent girl stumbles upon a secret that gets her into trouble and she vows revenge on the monsters that ruined her life. That story kept your attention with nerve wrecking tension and plot twists. You didn't know whom to trust or what...

So...this was a strange graphic novel.Miss Don't Touch Me is a French graphic novel about a young woman in 1930s Paris. The title is read like a name, Miss Don't-Touch-Me, as opposed to "Miss, don't touch me." Anyway, the Miss (Blanche) works as a maid with her sister. Blanche is an introverted homebody while her sister is much more social and goes out dancing most nights. Unfortunately, there is a serial killer on the loose who targets women. Blanche's sister is killed and Blanche is fired from...

Gruesome murders; passionate, jealous lesbian love affairs; perverted sado-masochistic sex; transgendered Josephine Baker lookalikes; the British royal family. And set in a nineteenth century Parisian brothel. In other words, everything that goodreads members love. Highly recommended.

This is a Parisian crime tale set in the 1930s. The art style reflects the style of the time period, veering a little into a much more mature style on made see in books for children from the time period. This comic, however, is very much not for children. This was published in French as two separate volumes titled "The Butcher of the Dances" and "Prince Charming." I think the quality of the first volume is far superior to the second. The protagonist, Blanche, is far more complex than one would h...

Um, this was surprisingly awesome -- I was all, oh, French sex farce, it's going to be pointless and gross, but no, in fact it was suspenseful, a thoughtful vision of the pros and cons of bordello life (mostly cons, but moments of lightness), befriending by Josephine Baker, a strong and self-possessed titular character, just sexy enough without being like OOH BOOBS, and delightfully and precisely illustrated. I wish there were more!
