...reading, turning them more into object d'art than ordinary books. Tiny print-run, hand-made mini-comics have explored this holistic aesthetic extensively, but there have been few such works produced on a "mass" scale. They offer a new kind of reading experience for even the most jaded comix connoisseur...
...depicting the heroics of firemen, EMS rescuers and ordinary citizens. Then later in December Marvel will release "Moment of Silence," a wordless comic based on actual stories from the disaster. DC, Darkhorse, Image and Oni will collaborate on a benefit book titled "September 11," due in January. Non-mainstream comix creators, alienated by the loss of SPX, spent that weekend putting together their own benefit comic with the help of publisher Alternative Comics.

It presented Art Spiegelman, author of the Pulitzer-winning "Maus," as a kind of New York cartooning Nero - made...
...book has many pleasures, though with Hellman presumably taking whatever anyone would give him, it lacks in editing what it gains in abundance. Comix scholars will appreciate the serendipitous class reunion of so many first generation underground cartoonists. Most notably, Spiegelman provides a back cover depiction of the Temple of Cartoon Gods, with Rall's effigy placed in the bathroom. It's his first public statement on the case and, by implication, Rall's article. The other really big name, Robert Crumb, has handed over what look like a couple pages from his sketchbooks, depicting a pair of medieval "Crumb...
