	breebop: In the shadow of no towers
		No Towers is about the fall of the Twin Towers from Spiegelman's very personal experience as a New Yorker living only blocks away from Ground Zero.
		And while he and his wife spent panicked moments trying to find their daughter who was attending school at the foot of the towers, and while the three of them fled the final collapse, they weren't among the people captured on news cameras covered in dust, chased by a cloud of ash.
		No Towers is very, very short, but looks big because the book is oversized (about as big as a broadsheet newspaper) and the pages are thick like a kid's book.

	BELIEVE THE HYPE? IN THE SHADOW OF NO TOWERS BY ART SPIEGELMAN.
		If No Towers simply compiled the artist's sky-is-falling missives, you could place it next to your photo albums and other scrapbooks from bygone times to take out when you wanted a fresh jolt of memory.
		As a whole, In the Shadow of No Towers turns the nifty trick of propelling Art Spiegelman's personal recollections and political opinions onto the reader without making one feel beset by the ramblings of a madman.
		No matter how deeply a chord In the Shadow of No Towers strikes in many of us, it took the magnitude of Spiegelman's pessimism and sadness to create it.

	In the Shadow of No Towers - Art Spiegelman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In the Shadow of No Towers is Art Spiegelman's reaction to the destruction of the World Trade Center.
		The cover is stark fl, the front a simple outline of the towers, the back covered in outlines of old time comic characters spinning through space.
		And his In the Shadow of No Towers is certainly a welcome return to the comic book scene for Spiegelman.

	Flak Magazine: Review of In the Shadow of No Towers, 12.07.04
		Even though a reader may try to read "No Towers" in a "Maus"-less vacuum, the artist himself won't allow it; he imports into "No Towers" the smart visual lexicon coined by "Maus." He again draws himself, at least in his moments of isolated fear and self-criticism, as a mouse.
		The first half of "No Towers" is a collection of Spiegelman's deeply personal impressions of Sept. 11, cut into a neat series of two page episodes, and his narrative is compelling for its immediacy.
		This is the problem with "No Towers": Anyone old enough to read it is old enough to remember its events and to have taken all those jarring images to heart — so much so that Spiegelman's images cannot dislodge our own.

	In The Shadow Of No Towers by Art Spiegelman: Reviews
		In the Shadow of No Towers is most compelling as it charts the changing memory of 9/11.
		"No Towers" is ultimately a fragmentary, unfinished piece: brilliant at times, but scattershot, incomplete and bizarrely truncated.
		This is the problem with "No Towers": Anyone old enough to read it is old enough to remember its events and to have taken all those jarring images to heart -- so much so that Spiegelman's images cannot dislodge our own.

	The terror within \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		His latest book, "In the Shadow of No Towers," depicts the personal and political impact of Sept. 11th in 10 full-color, double-page, retina-searing comic strips.
		The towers themselves are transformed into panicked Katzenjammer Kids running from "Uncle Screwloose," a manic cross between Uncle Sam and a wild-eyed Bolshevik, who dumps a barrel of oil on the "Tower Twins" as they burn.
		To illustrate this, the second half of "In the Shadow of No Towers" is actually an appendix of vintage funnies from the 1900s, the same strips that brought Spiegelman solace in the days after 9/11: "Hogan's Alley," "Krazy Kat" and those rascally Katzenjammers.

	Pantheon Graphic Novels
		In the Shadow of No Towers, his first new book of comics since the groundbreaking Maus, is a masterful and moving account of the events and aftermath of that tragic day.
		Spiegelman and his family bore witness to the attacks in their lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived in the area for years.
		But the horrors they survived that morning were only the beginning for Spiegelman, as his anguish was quickly displaced by fury at the U.S. government, which shamelessly co-opted the events for its own preconceived agenda.

	Bookslut \| In the Shadow of No Towers by Art Spiegelman
		Marshall McLuhan's "the media is the message" theory has always implied that details like a book's binding, page texture and size have as much impact on the reader as the actual content of the book.
		No Towers is no saccharine memorial, no historical record.
		But no matter what shape he takes, Spiegelman remains angry, frightened and paranoid -- too paranoid for the New York papers that brought about his original success.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Salon \| In the Shadow of No Towers, by Art Spiegelman
		Indeed, his July-August 2003 installment of the No Towers series dedicates itself to the profit others have reaped off the backs of citizens thrown into chaos by a national tragedy.
		But no one's going to accuse Spiegelman of cashing in on the tragedy's third anniversary, and not just because he is a New York lifer who has consistently raged against the machines of oppression and manipulation since his days editing the seminal 80s graphic mag Raw.
		As Spiegelman notes in No Towers while fleeing the crumbling World Trade Center and encountering a giant billboard for Arnold Schwarzenegger's fireman-revenge drama Collateral Damage, irony is not dead.

		Instead, he hunkered down in his studio and produced In the Shadow of No Towers, his response to September 11 and the events that followed.
		This haunting image later graced the cover of No Towers, but at first Spiegelman, "convinced the world was going to end at any minute", felt traumatised, glued to the television as events unfolded.

		Now, how well this potential counter to Towers is able to represent its viewpoints in the same medium used by Speigelman remains to be seen.

		He revisits these demons in the recently published oversized book "In the Shadow of No Towers." Spiegelman, a New York City resident, was stirred and disturbed by the events of September 11th, 2001.
		The rest of the book is really only ten of Spiegelman's strips, but each one is a 17" x 24" masterpiece, crammed with his own thoughts and fears, tributes to past comics pioneers, and his reaction to the new world sparked on that day.
		A recurring visual theme in the strips is the glowing skeleton of the South Tower as it collapsed--an image burned into Spiegelman's brain that comes to symbolize his own relationship to the disaster.

		No Towers makes explicit what Sky Captain leaves implicit Ð the idea that we are returning to images from the past to cope with our uncertainty about the future.
		In The Shadow of No Towers is an attempt, largely successful, to avoid the kitschification that Roth complains about, using Spiegelman’s typical strategy of attacking a familiar story from an unexpected angle.
		The Twin Towers are transformed into the Katzenjammer Kids, mischievous boys always in trouble; Spiegelman and his wife become the bickering Maggie and Jiggs from “Bringing Up Father”; Krazy Kat and friends re-enact the political dilemmas of contemporary New York.

	In the Shadow of No Towers
		He crafted a series of ten broadsheet-sized pages about the attacks and their aftermath, titled “In the Shadow of No Towers.” Originally published in several European newspapers, the series has now been collected in a book of the same name, combining Spiegelman’s ten pages with reproductions of selected turn-of-the-century comics that influenced him.
		In a way it’s like something as monumental as these towers was obviously ephemeral, as ideals and systems of government seemed ephemeral, not built to last based on the way things were unfolding and have been unfolding.
		So we can either get deeply engulfed in a war that has no possible happy ending based on serious analyses, or we can find ways to retreat and just offer some kind of buffer to what happens financially but not necessarily be involved in a war per se.

		This second trap turned out to be a project he has titled "In the Shadow of No Towers," an autobiographical comic strip that will be serialized monthly beginning this week by the Forward, the only newspaper in America to do so.
		Perhaps the most immediately striking element of Spiegelman's latest creation is its size: The comic "strips" will be on full pages, as comics were in the early part of the last century, a decision that the author relates directly to the targets of the disaster.
