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 and his family bore witness to the attacks in their lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived in the area for years. But the horrors they survived that morning were only the beginning for Spiegelman, as his anguish was quickly displaced by fury at the U.S. government, which shamelessly co-opted the events for its own preconceived agenda. He responded in the way he knows best. In an oversized, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics (which Spiegelman says brought him solace after the attacks), he relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey-with his singular artistry and his characteristic provocation, outrage, and wit-the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.

Through the magic of words and pictures leaps a book that's not only playful as a puppy -- it is a puppy! Honest..

Zum 75. Geburtstag von Art Spiegelman, dem Schöpfer von »Maus«: »Eine coole Noir-Dystopie« Clemens Meyer »Dieses Buch ist ein kleiner Geniestreich!« MDR Kultur Die Zeiten, als ein Mord eine große Sache war, sind endgültig vorbei. In einer Welt der Roboter, Drohnen und fliegenden Autos geht ein altmodischer Bulle auf Streife. 2020 hatte Robert Coover gerade eine Geschichte um den letzten New Yorker Streifenpolizisten geschrieben - und bat Art Spiegelman, sie zu illustrieren. So entstand inmitten der Pandemie ein Buch über die Zukunft - und eine Liebeserklärung an den Comic von einem seiner größten Künstler. In einer Welt der Roboter und fliegenden Autos zieht ein altmodischer Streifenpolizist durch New York. Er sehnt sich nach den Tagen, als die Zeit noch linear verstrich und Häuser nicht plötzlich ihren Ort wechselten. Mit Hilfe einer künstlichen Intelligenz, in die er sich ein bisschen verliebt hat und begleitet von einer seltsamen Untoten, macht sich der Street Cop auf die Suche nach einer angeblichen Leiche. »Street Cop« ist eine erschreckend gegenwärtige kleine Dystopie - und ein seltener Glücksfall, der drei erzählerische Großmeister zusammenbrachte: Art Spiegelman, Robert Coover - und Clemens Meyer, der das Buch ins Deutsche übersetzte.

»Wenn ein Zeichner den Nobelpreis verdient hätte, dann er: Art Spiegelman«. Welt am Sonntag >Maus< von Art Spiegelman wurde über Nacht zu einem modernen Klassiker und revolutionierte die Welt des Comic-Strips. Als erster Comickünstler wurde Spiegelman mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnet - und löste eine kontroverse und leidenschaftliche Diskussion aus: Darf man KZs in einem Comics darstellen, darf man Juden als Mäuse, Nazis als Katzen zeichnen? In >MetaMaus< lüftet Spiegelman den Vorhang und gewährt detailliert Einblick in seine Kunst: Er gibt die aufwühlenden Gespräche mit seinem Vater wieder, dem Helden des Buches. In den vielen Skizzen und Entwürfen können wir die Entstehung des berühmten Comic-Strips nachverfolgen, der zum Weltbestseller wurde. Ein vielschichtiger Material- und Interviewband, der keine Frage offen lässt.

The paperback boxed set of the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel in its original two-volume format, re-released to include a sixteen page booklet designed by the artist. Acclaimed as "the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust" (Wall Street Journal), Maus is considered "the first masterpiece in comic book history" (The New Yorker).A brutally moving work of art-widely hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever written-Maus recounts the chilling experiences of the author's father during the Holocaust, with Jews drawn as wide-eyed mice and Nazis as menacing cats. Maus is a haunting tale within a tale, weaving the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father into an astonishing retelling of one of history's most unspeakable tragedies. It is an unforgettable story of survival and a disarming look at the legacy of trauma.

"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."

Includes various sketches, rough and alternate drafts, family and reference photos, notebook and diary entries and the transcript of the author's interviews with his father Vladek as well as a long interview with the author himself. This book also includes a DVD packed with extra images, video and commentary.
