Breakdowns Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@?*! #[nn]

Oct 2008 · Pantheon · 27.50 USD; 32.00 CAD
“Breakdown”

"Breakdown" is a striking, self-reflective work from Art Spiegelman, the acclaimed creator of *Maus*, who handles every aspect of the interior art, inking, and coloring with his signature precision and emotional depth. The issue opens with a series of meticulously crafted pages that blend personal history and artistic process, beginning with a blown-up panel from *Ace Hole Midget Detective* and leading into a title page that reimagines the cover image with a subtle, telling twist—where a man slips on a banana peel instead of a comic.
