Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman (In the Shadow of No Towers) energized the graphic novel with his powerful Holocaust story Maus. His fascinating illustrated talk will explore the evolution of comics, making a case for their importance in a post-literate culture. “Art Spiegelman…to the comics world is a Michelangelo and a Medici both, an influential artist who is also an impresario and an enabler of others.” The New York Times.
