MetaMaus by Art Spiegelman (book trailer)

In METAMAUS, Spiegelman employs prose, drawings, documents, and photographs to trace the intersecting paths of history, family, and comics that led to the creation, twenty-five years ago, of MAUS, his Pulitzer Prize winning comic book about the Holocaust.

Pantheon Books will publish MetaMaus on October 4th. In the meantime, view additional material from the book and bonus DVD on Art Spiegelman's Facebook page: Facebook.com/ArtSpiegelman

Wow those old RAW's are worth loads now! Not that you bought them as "investments", I'm sure! I have three issues I managed to procure off E-Bay and the "Read Yourself Raw" anthology of bits from the first three issues....with the "Two Fisted Painters" and Mark Beyer trading cards intact and uncut, too! Have you read any Arcade magazines, the anthology Spiegleman edited with Bill Griffith in the 70's? There's some amazing stuff in there, too. Lotta great "underground" cartoonists.

While reading, you have the time to just stop and think. (ok, you stop a movie, unless you're in the cinema, but who does that?)

I really advice you to read it, instead of waiting for a movie which will never come!

I disagree on that.

I've read it and loved it for the fact that it is a comicbook. In a sense, the drawings are not pretty. this thing helps the story. I cannot imagine that the filmversion would have the same qualities. A story as famous as mouse will atract big movie compagnies who don't want to make an ugly movie... Even the fixed speed of a movie would not allow you to let it all sink in properly. A story as the Holocaust is a very difficult and harsh one, which needs some time to set.

You are a true artist, Mr. Spiegelman. Taking what you know and how you feel and channeling it into your work. That's what makes you, and your work, so special.

0:59 - "Never again!"

You can and should say that about Holocaust...

But also about the same old questions journalists and students keep asking like an answering machine or a cash dispenser...
