Art Spiegelman presents a deeply personal, politically charged, and graphically emotionally stunning account of the events and aftermath of September 11, 2001. In a large, 2-page-spread format, Spiegelman relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the effects it had upon his life, and the extraordinary changes enacted in the name of national security that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.
