Breakdowns : portrait of the artist as a young %@**! / Art Spiegelman.

Spiegelman, Art, (author.).

Summary:
The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Maus" explores the comics form--and how it has formed him. This illustrated essay looks back at the 1960s as the artist pushes 60, in this collection that alters the terms of what can be accomplished in a memoir.
The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus reflects on the comics form and its influence on his life and art as he traces his evolution from comics obsessed boy to a neurotic adult exploring the effects of his parents' memories of Auschwitz on his own son, in a volume that includes a facsimile of Breakdowns, the artist's comics from the 1970s.
