Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus is a landmark in the consideration of the Holocaust and a breakthrough in serious comic art — but his full body of work is more remarkable and eclectic. ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE traces his beginnings in the 1960s as co-creator of the trading cards Wacky Packages; co-founding the underground comics magazines Arcade (with Bill Griffith) and Raw (with 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 prompted the NYPD to raid 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 caricatures (Joe Sacco, Jerry Craft, Molly Crabapple) inspired by Spiegelman’s unflinching confrontation of personally traumatic themes.
