"When the graphic novel Maus: A Survivor's Tale won a
Special Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for its vivid depiction of the Holocaust and
its effects, critics and mainstream audiences recognized that a comic book
was capable of exploring complex aesthetic, moral, and cultural themes.
Maus's creator Art Spiegelman (b. 1948) became the most famous
alternative cartoonist in America." "This collection of
interviews and profiles spans 1976-2006 and covers Spiegelman's career as
an artist, critic, educator, and art historian. A previously unpublished
interview conducted by the volume's editor discusses themes rarely touched
upon in earlier profiles." -University Press of Mississippi

"Welcome to the bizarre world of
Fletcher Hanks, Super Wizard of the Inkwell. Fletcher Hanks worked
for only a few years in the earliest days of the comic book industry
(1939-1941). Because he worked in a gutter medium for second-rate
publishers on third rate characters his work has been largely forgotten.
But among aficionados he is legendary. Hanks drew in a variety of genres
depicting science-fiction saviors, white women of the jungle, and he-man
loggers. Cartoonist Paul Karasik (co-adapter of Paul Auster's City of
Glass and co-author of The Ride Together, a Memoir of
Autism in the Family) has spent years tracking down these obscure and
hard to find stories buried in the back of long-forgotten comic book
titles. Karasik has also uncovered a dark secret: why Hanks disappeared
from the comics scene. This book collects 15 of his best stories in one
volume followed by an Afterword which solves the mystery of Whatever
Happened to Fletcher Hanks, the mysterious cartoonist who created a
hailstorm of tales of brutal retribution... and then mysteriously
vanished." -Fantagraphics
