Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus is a landmark on the Holocaust and a breakthrough in serious comic art, but his achievements are far more remarkable and eclectic. ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE traces his beginnings in the 1960s as a co-creator of trading cards for Wacky Packages; co-founding the underground comics magazines Arcade (with Bill Griffith) and Raw (with his wife, Françoise Mouly); his response to 9/11, inspired by an eyewitness account of the attacks in his lower Manhattan home; his controversial covers for The New Yorker (1993-2003), which prompted the NYPD to picket the magazine’s office; and his public response to Maus’ recent ban from the Tennessee school board. Spiegelman proves to be an eloquent guide through his provocative work, alongside contemporaries (Robert Crumbs, Gary Panter) and younger cartoonists (Joe Sacco, Jerry Kraft, Molly Crabapple) who have been inspired by Spiegelman’s unflinching confrontation of personally traumatic themes.
