Comment

Séance de dédicace d'Art Spiegelman, la Fnac Montparnasse, 1996. Après avoir dédicacé le livre pour ma fille, je décroche une des affiches avec l'accord du responsable de la Fnac, lui ai demandé de la dédicacer, ce qu'il a fait au tipex.
Maus est une oeuvre a part dans ma collection. Cette rencontre avec Art S. aura été marquante.

About Art Spiegelman

Art Spiegelman (first name Arthur, called Artie by his father) is an American comic book writer and illustrator, born in Stockholm, Sweden. A leading figure in the American underground comic strip scene of the 1970s and 1980s, he became best known in the mid-1980s for his comic strip Maus, which won him a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992. He is also a well-known illustrator. He was awarded the Grand Prix of the city of Angoulême in 2011. With the publication of the first rendition of 'Maus' in Funny Animals in 1972, Spiegelman's career really took flight. 'Maus' was based on the experiences of his parents as concentration-camp survivors. He expanded this premise into a full-blown graphic novel, which he drew from 1980 to 1986, with the Jews presented as mice and the Germans as cats (the Katzies). The book 'Maus: A Survivor's Tale', earned Spiegelman fame. He completed the tale in 1991 with 'Maus II: From Mauschwitz to the Catskills'. Art Spiegelman received the Pullitzer Prize in 1992.
