Breakdowns - retrato do artista quando jovem

Art Spiegelman’s Breakdowns—retrato do artista quando jovem, published by Companhia das Letras in 2009, is a single-issue Brazilian edition that gathers the artist’s early, formally daring comics. This collection, anchored by Spiegelman’s own hand, presents a raw, autobiographical portrait of his formative years as a cartoonist, blending experimental storytelling with the raw energy of underground comix. It matters as a key document of Spiegelman’s evolution before his landmark Maus, revealing the creative seeds of a master of the medium.
