2nd and later printings. Art Spiegelman defined the graphic novel memoir with his Pulitzer Prize-winning MAUS, which narrated his father's experiences in Auschwitz. Growing up with Holocaust survivor parents, he was taught that no place is truly safe. Spiegelman finally experienced that truth for himself on 9/11, as he and his wife raced to find their daughter, attending her first day of school two blocks away from the World Trade Center. The fragmented nature of the art and text reflect the scattered, painfully vivid thoughts that Spiegelman had both during and after those traumatic moments. The oversized, full-color spreads include panels drawn realistically, drawn MAUS-style (i.e., Spiegelman depicts himself as a mouse), and drawn in the style of early 20th century comics such as the Katzenjammer Kids and Bringing up Father. Those early comics were a comfort to Spiegelman during the terror and paranoia he felt (and still feels) post-9/11, and the book closes with a short history and reprints of those comics, which seem startlingly relevant to the current political situation. Hardcover, 10-in. x 14 1/2-in., 40 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.95.

(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Ryan Ottley FC 32pp $2.95 Monthly Ongoing series. THE CONCEPT: Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? THIS ISSUE: Everything has changed, and Mark Grayson doesn't know what to do. In this issue, Invincible gets to attend his first star-studded superhero funeral... featuring guest appearances from all your favorite Image Universe superheroes. To make matters worse, it seems trouble is brewing here at the cemetery. It's a good thing all those heroes are on hand to help... because Mark is in NO condition to be fighting any battles on his own. Cover price $2.95.
