Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus is a landmark in the fight against the Holocaust and a breakthrough in serious comics art, but his completed achievements are more remarkable and eclectic. ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE chronicles his beginnings in the 1960s as co-creator of the trading cards Wacky Packages; his co-founding of the underground comics magazines Arcade (with Bill Griffith) and Raw (with his wife Françoise Mouly); In the Shadow of No Towers, his reaction to 9/11, inspired by witnessing the attacks from his home in lower Manhattan; his controversial covers for The New Yorker (1993–2003) that led the New York Police Department to picket the magazine’s office; and his public response to the recent banning of Maus by a Tennessee school board. Spiegelman proves 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.
