  • A Video Conversation with Pulitzer Prize Recipient Art Spiegelman
    Inspicio the last laugh Introduction to Art Spiegelman. 1:53 min. Photo & montage by Raymond El- man. Music: My Grey Heaven, from Normalology (1996), by Phillip Johnston, Jedible Music (BMI) A Video Conversation with Pulitzer Prize Recipient Art Spiegelman By Elman + Skye From the Steven Barclay Agency: rt Spiegelman (b. 1948) has almost single-handedly brought comic books out of the toy closet and onto the A literature shelves. In 1992, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his masterful Holocaust narrative Maus— which por- trayed Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. Maus II continued the remarkable story of his parents’ survival of the Nazi regime and their lives later in America. His comics are best known for their shifting graphic styles, their formal complexity, and controver- sial content. He believes that in our post-literate culture the im- portance of the comic is on the rise, for “comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not in para- graphs.” Having rejected his parents’ aspirations for him to become a dentist, Art Spiegelman studied cartooning in high school and began drawing professionally at age 16. He went on to study art and philosophy at Harpur College before becoming part of the underground comix subculture of the 60s and 70s. As creative consultant for Topps Bubble Gum Co. from 1965-1987, Spie- gelman created Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids and other novelty items, and taught history and aesthetics of comics at the School for Visual Arts in New York from 1979-1986.

  • Spiegelman Studies Part 2 of 2: Breakdowns, No Towers and the Rest of the Canon
    Literature Compass 12/10 (2015): 509–516, 10.1111/lic3.12263 Spiegelman Studies Part 2 of 2: Breakdowns, No Towers and the Rest of the Canon Philip Smith* Loughborough University Abstract Art Spiegelman is one of the most-discussed creators in Comic Book Studies. His Pulitzer-winning work Maus (1980 and 1991) was, alongside The Dark Knight Returns (1986) and Watchmen (1987), the catalyst to a sea change in the commercial and critical fortunes of the alternative comic book during the mid-1980s. It has been a landmark text in critical discourse on comics ever since. The purpose of this and its companion paper is to offer a synthesis and reinvestigation of both the existing critical literature on Spiegelman as well as, perhaps most importantly, the lacunae within that literature. The aims of these two papers, then, are two-fold: firstly, to establish where we have got to and, secondly, to suggest some directions for the fu- ture of Spiegelman scholarship. The first paper concerned Maus. This, the second of the two, is devoted to In The Shadow of No Towers (2004), Breakdowns (1977 and 2008), and Spiegelman’s other works. Spiegelman’s Maus is, inarguably, one of the most important comics in the history of the medium and has accordingly, as we saw in Part 1 of this survey, attracted a great deal of critical attention. His subsequent works In the Shadow of No Towers (2004) and the reissue of his first collection Breakdowns (originally 1977, reissued in 2008) have generated considerable further interest. Breakdowns is Spiegelman’s first collection of comics.

  • TOON BOOKS GO BACK to PRESS Before Pub Date
    RAW JUNIOR, LLC 27 Greene Street, New York, NY 10013 [email protected] For immediate release CONTACT: Kate Kubert Puls [email protected] TOON BOOKS GO BACK TO PRESS BEFORE PUB Date In response to overwhelming advance orders, TOON Books was taken by surprise and has had to go back to press for all three of its spring debut titles. Benny and Penny by Geoffrey Hayes is already out of stock with its distributor, Diamond Book Distributors, before its April 7 pub-date, and the same fate is imminent for Agnès Rosenstiehl’s Silly Lilly and Frank Cammuso and Jay Lynch’s Otto’s Orange Day. “We were in the middle of preparing for our launch,” says Editorial Director Françoise Mouly, also the Art Editor of The New Yorker, “but I couldn’t imagine a more welcome distraction.” Self-published by Mouly under her RAW Junior, LLC imprint, and edited by Mouly with Series Advisor Art Spiegelman (Maus, In the Shadow of No Towers), the TOON Books are the first collection of high-quality hardcover comics for early readers. Heavily vetted by educators, the books “fill such a need in children’s publishing,” says Laura Lutz, Children’s Materials Specialist at the Queens Library. The TOON Books have already received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist, review attention in Kirkus, Shelf Awareness, and School Library Journal, and feature attention in The New York Times, School Library Journal, Shelf Awareness, Time Out New York Kids, The Brian Lehrer Show, The Miami Herald and PRINT magazine, among many other venues.The three books’ simultaneous publication date is April 7, 2008.

    Jody Seim Timmins. Using Comics to Promote Literacy in the K-8 Classroom. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. July, 2014. 44 pages. Advisor: Sandra Hughes-Hassell Students, publishers, and educators have embraced comics for their engaging format and high-interest storylines. Comics are not just popular choices for independent reading, however. Comics can be used in the classroom to support literacy instruction. Comics have been found to foster multimodal literacy, support English language learning, and motivate reluctant readers. The layout of comics makes visible the meaning-making strategies deployed by proficient readers. These strategies include sustained comprehension, visualization, and making inferences. Comics also provide opportunities for readers to explore literacy concepts such as setting and characterization, and literary devices such as foreshadowing, point of view, and flashback. This paper provides a framework for educators to select high-quality comics that can be used to scaffold these and other literacy lessons for K-8 learners. It includes an annotated bibliography of print and digital curriculum guides to integrate comics in the classroom. Headings: Comic books, strips, etc. in education Graphic Novels Literacy education Visual Literacy Reading instruction USING COMICS TO PROMOTE LITERACY IN THE K-8 CLASSROOM by Jody Seim Timmins A Master’s paper submitted to the faculty of the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library Science.

  • Sample Pages
    Drawing Power* By Bob Thompson The Washington Post, August 24, 2008 I’ve wandered into an alternative universe, and I’m trying to decide if I want to stay. The setting is the lovely, old-fashioned library of the General Society of Me- chanics and Tradesmen, in midtown Manhattan. The event is a gathering called “SPLAT! A Graphic Novel Symposium.” I’m here because the organizers have promised to lay out, in the course of a single day, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Graphic Novels.” What I want to know is: How did this formerly ghettoized medium become one of the rare publishing categories that’s actually expanding these days? “SPLAT!” seems a perfect place to start looking for answers. Sponsored by the New York Center for Independent Publishing, it’s crammed with influential cartoonists, editors, agents, librarians, marketing types and book- sellers. There will be talk of literary comics, autobiographical comics, Web comics, kids’ comics, comics in libraries, comics in schools and much, much more. By day’s end, my head will be buzzing with new knowledge on subjects ranging from the distribution revolution that helped make the graphic novel boom possible to the Manga Invasion from Japan. Above all, “SPLAT!” is filled with enthusiastic voices. What is a graphic novel? “It’s a perfect synthesis of artwork and literature!” When will graphic novels come into their own? “We seem to be in a golden age of comics publishing right now!” And yet . To a lifelong Prose Guy, whose idea of a good time involves a comfortable couch and a book full of nothing but words, the graphic novel galaxy can still feel far, far away.
