Breakdowns, the legendary 1978 collection of comics by Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Maus, presents the seminal works that changed how comics are made and appreciated today. Innovative, serious, funny, and many decades ahead of its time, the book is presented here in its entirety . . . along with an introduction almost as long as the book it introduces that’s as autobiographically intimate and experimentally daring as everything else in Breakdowns.
