very good dust-jacket, light wear along top edge, cover price $18.00, very good black half-cloth with gray boards, faded by light along top and bottom edge. SPIEGELMAN, ART. Maus II: a survivor's tale : and here my troubles began. New York: Pantheon Books, 1991, 11/91 on rear jacket flap / printing number line from 9 down to 3, 135pp., . A memoir of Vladek Spiegleman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and about his son, a cartoonist who tries to come to terms with his father, his story, and history. Cartoon format portrays Jews as mice, Nazis as cats. Using a unique comic-strip-as-graphic-art format, the story of Vladek Spiegelman's passage through the Nazi Holocaust is told in his own words. Acclaimed as a "quiet triumph" and a "brutally moving work of art," the first volume of Art Spiegelman's Maus introduced readers to Vladek Spiegelman. The story succeeds perfectly in shocking us out of any lingering sense of familiarity with the events described, approaching, as it does, the unspeakable through the diminutive. As the New York Times Book Review commented, "[it is] a remarkable feat of documentary detail and novelistic vividness . an unfolding literary event." This long-awaited sequel, subtitled And Here My Troubles Began, moves us from the barracks of Auschwitz to the bungalows of the Catskills. Genuinely tragic and comic by turns, it attains a complexity of theme and a precision of thought new to comics and rare in any medium. Maus ties together two powerful stories: Vladek's harrowing tale of survival against all odds, delineating the paradox of daily life in the death camps, and the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Vladek's troubled remarriage, minor arguments between father and son, and life's everyday disappointments are all set against a backdrop of history too large to pacify. At every level this is the ultimate survivor's tale--and that too of the children who somehow survive even the survivors. 9780394556550 ISBN 0394556550.

very good large hardcover, actually a "board book" with thick cardboard pages for the comic illustrations, only slightest bit of wear at corners. SPIEGELMAN, ART. In the shadow of no towers. New York: Pantheon Books, 2004, 1st printing number line 246897531, about 38pp., . 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. - CONTENTS: The sky is falling -- In the shadow of no towers -- The comic supplement -- The Kin-der-Kids abroad : triumphant departure of the Kids in the family bathtub!! -- The war scare in Hogan's Alley -- The upside-downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo : The fairy palace -- The glorious Fourth of July : How foxy grandpa began to read the Declaration of Independence, and how he was interrupted -- Is this Abdullah, the Arab chief? : No, Gwendolin, it's our old friend Happy Hooligan! -- Little Nemo in Slumberland -- Bringing up father. 9780375423079 ISBN 0375423079.
