New Releases by Art Spiegelman

"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.

''Maus'' nähert sich dem Unbeschreiblichen, dem Mord an Europas Juden, mit den Mitteln des Comic-Strip. ''Maus'' ist Roman und Biographie, Bericht und persönliche Erinnerung - ein bewegendes Kunstwerk.

Un chiot subit plusieurs métamorphoses. Il est d''abord changé en berger par une sorcière, puis en crapaud par une fée, finalement en livre par un méchant magicien. La preuve de tout cela est la laisse au dos du livre. Qui porte une laisse sinon un chien! Amusant, original, le temps de la laisse.

An autobiographical and biographical cartoon in which the author explores his strained relationship with his father, an Auschwitz survivor, while also relating the story of his parent''s experiences as Jews in wartime Poland, as told to him by his dad during a series of conversations they had years later in New York and Vermont.

"Maus raconte la vie de Vladek Spiegelman, rescapé juif des camps nazis, et de son fils, auteur de bandes dessinées, qui cherche un terrain de réconciliation avec son père, sa térrifiante histoire et l''Histoire. Des portes d''Auschwitz aux trottoirs de New York se déroule l''histoire d''une double survie: celle du père, mais aussi celle du fils qui se débat pour survivre au survivant. Ici les nazis sont des chats et les juifs des souris. Oubliez vos préjugés: ces souris-là ont plus à voir avec Kafka ou Orwell qu''avec Tom et Jerry.
