Pulitzer Prize-winning artist Art Spiegelman takes on grief, politics, war and his own battle to recover from the World Trade Center attacks in his new collection of comics, In the Shadow of No Towers.
His first book of comics since his groundbreaking Maus (1986), No Towers begins with Spiegelman's account of living near the World Trade Center on 9/11. He says his most vivid memory "was the image of the looming north tower's glowing bones just before it vaporized."
He describes how he and his wife, Franc¸oise, rushed to retrieve son Dash, 9, from the United Nations School they feared was a potential target and frantically searched for daughter Nadja, whose high school is a few blocks from the twin towers.
