Combined for the first time here are Maus I: A Survivor's Tale and Maus II - the complete story of Vladek Spiegelman and his wife, living and surviving in Hitler's Europe. By addressing the horror of the Holocaust through cartoons, the author captures the everyday reality of fear and is able to explore the guilt, relief and extraordinary sensation of survival - and how the children of survivors are in their own way affected by the trials of their parents. A contemporary classic of immeasurable significance.

On the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of its first
publication, here is the definitive edition of the book acclaimed
as "the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the
Holocaust" ("Wall Street Journal") and "the first masterpiece in
comic book history" ("The New Yorker").
A story of a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe and his son, a cartoonist who tries to come to terms with his father's story and history itself.
The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus explores the comics form...and how it formed him! **In a new flexibound format with an updated afterword** This book opens with Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*!, creating vignettes of the people, events, and comics that shaped Art Spiegelman. It traces the artist's evolution from a MAD-comics obsessed boy in Rego Park, Queens, to a neurotic adult examining the effect of his parents' memories of Auschwitz on his own son. The second part presents a facsimile of Breakdowns, the long-sought after collection of the artist's comics of the 1970s, the book that triggers these memories. Breakdowns established the mode of formally sophisticated comics that transformed the medium, and includes the prototype of Maus, cubist experiments, an essay on humor, and the definitive genre-twisting pulp story "Ace Hole-Midget Detective." Pulling all this together is an illustrated essay that looks back at the sixties as the artist pushes sixty, and explains the obsessions that brought these works into being. Poignant, funny, complex, and innovative, Breakdowns alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir. 'Art Spiegelman is the single most important comic creator' Alan Moore
Volumes one and two of the Pulitzer Prize-winning tale of a mouse's experiences in Nazi-occupied Europe and in German concentration camps are housed in a sturdy box. Reprint.
MAUS was the first half of the tale of survival of the author's parents, charting their desperate progress from prewar Poland Auschwitz. Here is the continuation, in which the father survives the camp and is at last reunited with his wife.
VISUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY RICH, TAKE A LOOK INSIDE ART SPIEGELMAN'S MODERN CLASSIC, MAUS 'If you are serious about comics or the Holocaust, this book should be on your shelf' San Francisco Book Review MAUS is widely renowned as one of the greatest pieces of art and literature ever written about the Holocaust. Readers adore it, and it's studied in colleges and universities all over the world. In MetaMAUS, Art Spiegelman re-enters the world of his Pulitzer-prize winning graphic novel to probe the questions that it often evokes: Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics? Including never-before-seen sketches, alternate drafts, family photos, diary entries and the transcript of his interviews with his father Vladek as well as an interview with Art himself and a companion DVD, MetaMAUS is as ground-breaking as the masterpiece whose creation it reveals. The perfect gift, this vital companion is a must-read for any fan of MAUS. ___________________________________________________________________________ 'Richly rewarding...The book serves as a masterclass on the making and reading of comics' The New York Times Book Review 'A fascinating meditation on art, writing, and one of the darkest periods in human history' The Atlantic 'MetaMaus will leave even the most ardent admirers of Maus newly in awe of its author's creative courage, ingenuity and stamina' San Francisco Chronicle
For Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Maus,"
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were both highly
personal and intensely political. "In the Shadow of No Towers," his
first new book of comics since the groundbreaking "Maus," is a
masterful and moving account of the events and aftermath of that
tragic day.
"Spiegelman's drawings are like demonic woodcuts: every angle, line, and curve jumps out at you. Stylishness and brutishness are in perfect accord." - The New York Times Art Spiegelman's sinister and witty black-and-white drawings give charged new life to Joseph Moncure March's Wild Party, a lost classic from 1928. The inventive and varied page designs offer perfect counterpoint to the staccato tempo of this hard-boiled jazz-age tragedy told in syncopated rhyming couplets. Here is a poem that can make even readers with no time for poetry stop dead in their tracks. Once read, large shards of this story of one night of debauchery will become permanently lodged in the brain. When The Wild Party was first published, Louis Untermeyer declared: "It is repulsive and fascinating, vicious and vivacious, uncompromising, unashamed . . . and unremittingly powerful. It is an amazing tour de force."
Animation based on the comic by American artist Art Spiegelman which chronicles his experience of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre. Living in Lower Manhattan, Spiegelman was severely affected by the event which caused him to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. In his work, the artist expresses how the attack made him feel and gives his views on how the matter was handled by the Bush administration.
Sergio Leone s retooling of classic westerns for his spaghetti westerns Stieg Larsson s striking take on the serial killer/mystery thriller in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo And for that matter ABBA s fiendishly catchy appropriation of American pop music. Sometimes it takes Europeans to make gold of tuckered-out American tropes. Add to those instances of inspired global cross-pollination the Spanish cartoonist Marti s eye-popping The Cabbie, which spins off Martin Scorsese s sordid urban-justice drama Taxi Driver with a graphic style that unapologetically appropriates and even refines the brutal slabs of black, squashed perspectives, and grotesque approach to human physiognomy (and its ability to withstand punishment) that define Chester Gould s Dick Tracy. And as Art Spiegelman (who was the first to publish Marti s work in English, in RAW magazine) notes in his introduction, while Gould s graphic black and white precision and his diagrammatic clarity live on in Marti s work, he points out that more interestingly, perhaps, so does Gould s depravity. Indeed, if anything, The Cabbie is even more savage than the legendarily brutal Dick Tracy, with its pimps, whores, petty thieves, corrupt businessmen, all swirling around the ingenuously violent Cabbie whose self-administered upstanding citizen status entitles him in his view to even more shocking acts of violence especially on his quest for the stolen coffin of his father, which he s told includes his entire inheritance "
"Designed with Mr. Spiegelman's help, "Co-Mix"] has the tall, narrow proportions of "Raw."..its images form a chronological sampling of Mr. Spiegelman's extraordinary imagination, including his precocious early work, underground comics, preparatory notes and sketches for "Maus," indelible covers for "The New Yorker," lithographic efforts and much else."--"New York Times" In an art career that now spans six decades, Art Spiegelman has
been a groundbreaking and influential figure with a global impact.
His Pulitzer Prize-winning holocaust memoir "Maus" established the
graphic novel as a legitimate form and inspired countless
cartoonists while his shorter works have enormously expanded the
expressive range of comics.
