The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus by Art Spiegelman is a profound exploration of the comics medium and its profound impact on the artist himself. In a new flexibound format, this book offers an updated afterword that provides insights into the creative process.
The book begins with a captivating portrait of the artist as a young man, showcasing the people, events, and comics that shaped his artistic journey. It traces his evolution from a MAD-comics-obsessed boy in Rego Park, Queens, to a neurotic adult examining the profound effect of his parents' memories of Auschwitz on his own son.
The second part of the book presents a facsimile of Breakdowns, the long-sought-after collection of the artist's comics from the 1970s. Breakdowns established the mode of formally sophisticated comics that transformed the medium, featuring the prototype of Maus, cubist experiments, an essay on humor, and the definitive genre-twisting pulp story, Ace Hole-Midget Detective.
To bring this remarkable work together, an illustrated essay explores the sixties as the artist approaches sixty, shedding light on the obsessions that fueled these creations. Breakdowns is a poignant, funny, complex, and innovative memoir that alters the terms of what can be accomplished in the genre.
Art Spiegelman is widely regarded as the single most important comic creator of our time, and his work continues to inspire and influence artists around the world. This new edition of Maus is a testament to his enduring legacy and the power of comics to convey profound emotions and ideas.
