Non-Fiction Memoir
The career of a literary and art comic pioneer In an art career that now spans six decades, Art Spiegelman
has been a groundbreaking and influential figure with a
global impact. His Pulitzer Prize-winning holocaust memoir
Maus established the graphic novel as a legitimate
form and inspired countless cartoonists while his shorter
works have enormously expanded the expressive range of comics. Co-Mix: A Retrospective of Comics, Graphics, and
Scraps is a comprehensive career overview of the output
of this legendary cartoonist, showing for the first time the
full range of a half-century of relentless experimentation.
Starting from Spiegelman's earliest self-published comics
and lavishly reproducing graphics from a host of
publications both obscure and famous, Co-Mix provides
a guided tour of an artist who has continually reinvented
not just comics but also made a mark in book and magazine
design, bubble gum cards, lithography, modern dance, and
most recently stained glass. By showing all facets of
Spiegelman's career, the book demonstrates how he has
persistently cross-pollinated the worlds of comics,
commercial design, and fine arts. Essays by acclaimed film
critic J. Hoberman and MoMA curator and Dean of the Yale
University School of Art Robert Storr bookend Co-Mix,
offering eloquent meditations on an artist whose work has
been genre-defining.
