Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, creator of Wacky Packs and the Garbage Pail Kids, and father of the modern graphic novel (though he's still demanding a blood test), presents this warts-and-all reproduction of his private sketchbooks — and the results are as candid, sharp, and funny as the relentlessly innovative man behind them. Be a Nose! is a rare glimpse into the secret scribblings of an American original.

Be a Nose!
Art Spiegelman, the creator of Maus: A Survivor's Taleand of many iconic images--including the 9/11 cover for "The New Yorker", opens up his sketches and inner most thoughts to the world in this small collection of his sketchbooks. Which provides some interesting images into how Art views the world and the notes that he took about what goes on around him. But...it really doesn't have any cohesion to the volumes (I work at an academic library and there are actually four volumes to our books all different sizes, one of which is printed like a mini comicbook and introduces the series and what it is.) It would be nice if this was perhaps just one volume with notes about where he was that day or what he did with the work. Or even just deciphering his handwriting which is difficult to read in some places.
Overall...if you're a big fan of Art then I recommend these books for purchase. Otherwise, they're interesting to look at and get a different perspective on the world, but I wouldn't necessarily buy them.
