Many of the spreads, including the fold-open dust jacket, are crazy quilts, stitched with dotted lines and arrows, as if the very seams were straining to contain the story. "You have to keep turning the book," says New Yorker cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who first nationally published Ware in Raw magazine.
