Barefoot Gen: Without special title

release date: Jan 01, 2004
Barefoot Gen: Without special title
The reissue of this classic manga''s first volume has impeccable timing. It recounts the bombing of Hiroshima from the perspective of a young boy, Gen, and his family. But the book''s themes (the physical and psychological damage ordinary people suffer from war''s realities) ring chillingly true today. Despite its harrowing nature, this work is invaluable for the lessons it offers in history, humanity and compassion. Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing.

Be a Nose!: Introduction
"My best drawings have often been on stray scraps of paper, falling somewhere between unconscious doodles and focused drawings ... When McSweeney''s actually offered to produce a large file folder of my scraps, the counterintuitive idea of replicating my detritus goaded me into presenting some sketchbooks that had enough momentum to go on for more than a few pages. One, from 1979, is here called "BE." The most recent one, from 2007, catalyzed this current folly when it stumbled in the world as part of McSweeney''s 27. It''s here called "A." A favorite sketchbook from 1983, "NOSE," completes the set"--Introductory pamphlet "Liner Notes" by Art Spiegelman, p. [2] of Introduction.

Mon père saigne l'histoire
"Maus raconte la vie de Vladek Spiegelman, rescapé juif des camps nazis, et de son fils, auteur de bandes dessinées, qui cherche un terrain de réconciliation avec son père, sa térrifiante histoire et l''Histoire.
