Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus is a milestone in Holocaust research and a breakthrough in serious comics artโbut his body of work is more remarkable and varied. ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE traces his beginnings in the 1960s as co-inventor of the “Wacky Packages” trading cards; his co-founding of the underground comics magazines Arcade (with Bill Griffith) and Raw (with his wife, Franรงoise Mouly); “In the Shadow of No Towers,” his response to 9/11, which inspired him as he witnessed the attacks from his home in Lower Manhattan; his controversial covers for The New Yorker (1993-2003), which prompted the NYPD to stage a protest outside the magazine’s offices; and his public response to the recent banning of Maus 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) who were inspired by Spiegelman’s unflinching confrontation of personally traumatic subject matter.
