BREAKDOWNS
ART SPIEGELMAN
(Basic Books, $26.95)
The creator of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus explores the comics form—and how it formed him. Spiegelman traces his life, from a MAD-comics-obsessed boy in Queens to an adult examining his parents’ memories of Auschwitz. An illustrated essay looks back at the ’60s as the artist reaches sixty.

Bruce McCall, seen most often in the New Yorker these days, has migrated to doing children's books like a lot of other cartoonists.

OT: Rusty Witek's Spiegelman book

Here's a review of it: "Books about Comics #2: Spiegelman and Spandex," by Peter Sanderson, PW Comics Week May 13, 2008. I don't think Rusty's the one in the spandex though...
