Synopsis "Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*! (Pantheon Graphic Library)"

This legendary 1978 collection of comics by Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the best-selling Maus, presents the seminal early works that changed how comics are made and appreciated today--now with a new Afterword by the author. "Some of the smartest criticism of the comics genre ever rendered." --NPR Innovative, serious, funny, and many decades ahead of its time, Breakdowns is offered here in its entirety: the long-sought-after collection of the artist's comics of the 1970s, along with an introduction almost as long as the book it introduces--and just as autobiographically intimate and experimentally daring. At once the story of an artist and of his medium, Breakdowns alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir.

Nació en 1948 en Estocolmo, Suecia. Tres años más tarde, él y sus padres, supervivientes de un campo de concentración nazi, se trasladan a Nueva York. En los 60 empieza a trabajar como ilustrador para la Topps Chewing Gum Co. en la serie GARBAGE PAILS KID y realiza historias underground de carácter autobiográfico, entre las que destaca PRISIONERO DEL PLANETA INFIERNO, donde ilustra las reacciones familiares ante el suicidio de su madre. En 1978 crea la revista RAW, una publicación que sirve de refugio para todos aquellos autores norteamericanos y europeos cuyo trabajo no tiene cabida en el mercado popular. Fue en RAW donde dio a conocer su obra más conocida: MAUS. Es profesor en la School of Visual Arts de Nueva York ha ilustrado publicaciones en NEW YORK TIMES, PLAYBOY, VILLAGE VOICE y el semanario THE NEW YORKER.
