ART SPIEGELMAN, AUTHOR OF MAUS and IN THE SHADOW OF NO TOWERS

Ever since 1992, when Art Spiegelman won a Pulitizer Prize for MAUS, his masterful Holocaust comic book narrative, fans of adult comics have had a sparkle in their eyes. In Maus and Maus II, by portraying Jews as mice and Nazis as cats, Spiegleman created an unusual and controversial context for his powerful narrative. In more recent years, he has illustrated many covers for the New Yorker magazine. His comics are best known for their shifting graphic styles, their formal complexity and controversial content. In his speech “Comix 101, Spiegleman takes his audience on a chronological tour of the evolution of comics, all the while explaining the value of this medium and why it should not be ignored. He believes that in our post-literate culture the importance of the comic is on the rise, for “comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not paragraphs”
