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.

On 11th September 2001, Art Spiegelman raced to the World Trade Center, not knowing if his daughter Nadja was alive or dead. Once she was found safe in her school at the foot of the burning towers he returned home, to meditate on the trauma, and to work on a comic strip. Subversive, iconic, and burningly articulate, In the Shadow of No Towers is New Yorker Art Spiegelman''s extraordinary account of ''the hijacking on 9.11 and the subsequent hijacking of those events'' by America.

Traumatizado pelo atentado de 11 de setembro e indignado com a política de Bush após a tragédia, Art Spiegelman volta aos quadrinhos para tentar entender e explicar o que se passava com os americanos. No dia anterior aos ataques, 10 de setembro de 2001, Spiegelman e a mulher, Françoise Mouly, matricularam a filha numa escola situada aos pés do World Trade Center. Quando viram na televisão a primeira torre ser atingida pelo avião, foram desesperados ao encontro de Nadja e conseguiram encontrá-la pouco antes que a torre norte desabasse, por trás deles. Em seguida correram para pegar o outro filho, Dashiell, na escola das Nações Unidas. Essa experiência angustiante está retratada em detalhes no livro.

"For years Jack Cole labored dutifully as a cartoonist, comic book illustrator, and Playboy''s premier artist. He was, on the outside, a mild-mannered and easygoing guy. One look at his most famous creation--the manic, surreal Plastic Man--and there is no question that much more lurked in the mind of this tragic artist than anyone suspected. Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and cartoonist Art Spiegelman and renowned graphic designer Chip Kidd pay homage to Plastic Man and his creator, Jack Cole."--Jacket.
