Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*! by Art Spiegelman

3.0

I got this book for my dad for Christmas, but I couldn't help reading it during my visit to Fort Collins. In fact, as the clock struck 2009 I was sitting in bed in my childhood bedroom reading this book. This is a collection of Spiegelman's early work, mostly from the 1970s. Compared to Maus, this is not exceptional, but it's interesting to see more personal glimpses of Spiegelman's life, as well as an earlier short version of Maus. Some of the comics were not great, but the drawings and the aesthetics of each page are beautiful.
