Description
Breakdowns by Art Spiegelman is a poignant and innovative exploration of the comics form and its impact on the artist's life. This collection of vignettes, essays, and comics delves into the people, events, and experiences that shaped Spiegelman from his childhood to adulthood. The book opens with a series of autobiographical sketches, tracing the artist's evolution from a young boy obsessed with MAD comics to a neurotic adult grappling with the legacy of his parents' memories of Auschwitz. The second part presents a facsimile of Breakdowns, a collection of Spiegelman's comics from the 1970s that sparked these memories. This updated edition features an illustrated essay and includes some of Spiegelman's most innovative works, including the prototype for Maus and a genre-twisting pulp story.
