Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus is a landmark work on the Holocaust and a breakthrough in serious comic book artβbut his full-length achievements are more remarkable and eclectic. ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE traces his beginnings in the 1960s as co-creator of the trading card collection Wacky Packages; his co-founding of the underground comics magazines Arcade (with Bill Griffith) and Raw (with his wife FranΓ§oise Mouly); In the Shadow of No Towers, his response to 9/11, inspired by witnessing the attacks from his home in lower Manhattan; his controversial covers for The New Yorker (1993-2003), which prompted the NYPD to picket the magazine’s offices; and his public response to Maus’ recent ban by a Tennessee school board. Spiegelman proves to be an eloquent guide through his provocative work, alongside contemporaries (Robert Crumb, Gary Panter) and younger cartoonists (Joe Sacco, Jerry Craft, Molly Crabapple) inspired by Spiegelman’s unflinching confrontation of personally traumatic themes.
