Christine Papin, an overworked live-in maid, is reunited with her younger sister, Lea, who has also been hired by the wealthy Lancelin family. They make the estate' s beds, scrub the floors, and spy on the domestic strife that routinely occurs within its walls. What starts as petty theft by the maids ? who are flashing back to their tumultuous time in a convent ? shortly turns into something more nefarious. Madame Lancelin' s increasingly unhinged abuse ignites the sisters' toxic upbringing and social class exploitation and explodes into a ghastly double murder, an event that shocked and fascinated 1930s France and beyond. Maids has high bravura and high intrigue, all drawn in Skelly' s highly stylized manner, which combines the best of pop art, manga, and Eurocomics.
Maids draws striking power from the way Skelly fully embraces the potential of her format.
Katie Skelly is a cartoonist who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
