Art Spielgelman does wonderful covers for The New Yorker, but I was first introduced to his work when I taught his Maus comic series about the holocaust in my high school teaching training. here's a slide show essay about his work at Slate:
Apologies to Adorno, but I've got a question: Is it really possible for Art Spiegelman to make comics after Mauschwitz? That question hangs over every comic strip and book that he has penned sinceMaus: A Survivor's Tale, his path-breaking cat-and-mouse comic about his father's life in Auschwitz. The book, published in two parts, My Father Bleeds History (1986) and And Here My Troubles Began (1991), won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992.
