In his first new book of comics since the Pulitzer-Prize winning Maus, Art Spiegelman gives us a deeply personal, politically charged, graphically and emotionally stunning account of the events and aftermath of September 11, 2001. In a large, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics, Spiegelman conveys--through his singular artistry, his outrage and wit--the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.
