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.

{PRETITLE} Co-Mix: A Retrospective of Comics, Graphics, and Scraps {POSTTITLE}

I'm a long-time fan of Art Spiegelman's work and I own some of his other books, but this one is certainly a highlight of my collection. I had the pleasure of attending a talk/book-signing several weeks ago and Mr. Spiegelman is as interesting & complex in person as his artwork reflects on paper. Although this book isn't real lengthy, it includes what I feel is Spiegelman's most beautiful and important work. The colors are lovely.

As an aside; the Jewish Museum (here in NYC) will have a wide-ranging exhibit of Spiegelman's work from November 8 to March 23 and it will undoubtedly be a terrific show.
