Co-Mix: A Retrospective of Comics, Graphics, and Scraps

This is an exhibition book published for the Co-Mix exhibit which showed only in New York City in the US. I would have loved to go to the exhibit, but the book turns out to be as good a substitute as you can get from a book. It is beautifully done, lots of great unseen and previously unorganized stuff by Spiegelman, with excellent text. The oversized format is perfect (although you may have to build a special bookcase to put it in). If you are used to the usual exhibit-related book in the museum gift store - and know enough to pass it by - make an exception here. This is worth the money and you'll enjoy it long after the show is gone.

Nobody had the clarity of vision of how far comics could unfold as a literary and artistic medium as that of Francoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman. Spiegelman was probably the first to see this bigger picture and to really experiment with narrative potential within the medium. Even now there are few comics if any that have achieved this kind of elasticity and witty references. This is brilliant and fun, but it resonates with satire and experimentation. One of the modern classics of comic book literature.

I'm a long-time fan of Art Spiegelman's work and I own some of his other books, but this one is certainly a highlight of my collection. I had the pleasure of attending a talk/book-signing several weeks ago and Mr. Spiegelman is as interesting & complex in person as his artwork reflects on paper. Although this book isn't real lengthy, it includes what I feel is Spiegelman's most beautiful and important work. The colors are lovely.As an aside; the Jewish Museum (here in NYC) will have a wide-ranging exhibit of Spiegelman's work from November 8 to March 23 and it will undoubtedly be a terrific show.

This is a great overview of one of the greatest sequential artists of all time. Book was in good condition.

As a fan/collector of the work of Art Speigelman .. this book does not disappoint. It is so much better than what is pictured. The design of the book, quality of paper, graphics ... such a delight.

My middle aged son loved this book. Of course, he is a student of such things ever since he was in grade school!

Awesome book, fast shipping, great price and condition.
