Will Eisner

A great book for anyone interested in learning storytelling in a visual medium!

Part of the cover has gotten some sun damage, it seems, and is a different color to the rest. The book has also been laying in a curved position for a little too long, so the top right corner of the book curls upward a bit. Pages have minor wear to them. Overall structure of the book is sturdy and intact.

Examines the fundamentals of storytelling in comic book style and offers advice on story construction and visual narratives.

Art Spiegelman

This is not your average book. This one is a large and hefty comic book, made of hard cardstock for every page.

Art Spiegelman, author of Maus, brings us his moving and masterful account of the events of 9/11/2001 and its aftermath in this collection of comics. He and his family bore witness to the attacks from their lower Manhattan neighborhood, and felt the ripples of the aftermath as he watched how it was handled.

In an oversized, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics, he relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious side effects, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 democracy.

Included with the book is “News from Pantheon” talking about the book.

Great condition. A little wear from time.


Heavy Hardcover (2 to 4 lbs)

The creator of Maus conveys experience of the September 11th tragedy in a series of drawings and text that capture the horror of the event, its impact on his own life, and the dangerous erosion of American democracy that has occured in the aftermath of the attack. 75,000 first printing.

Bold Experiments. Faithful Servants. Soulless Killers.

A cold-eyed stare from the shadows of the alley ... the spine-tingling scrape, scrape as metallic feet drag along the concrete ... the squeak and whirr of hinges and hydraulics as the machine approaches. The robot is an intriguing yet sinister being -- created to serve, but in many ways superior to its weak and fallible human masters. We need the robots. Do they need us?
