"In the Shadow of No Towers" is a comic by Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic artist Art Spiegelman.
Overview
The comic evolved from Spiegelman's experiences during the September 11 terrorist attacks. Spiegelman has said that the comic is a way to reclaim himself from the post-traumatic stress disorder he suffered after the attacks.
It also has many references to Spiegelman's "Maus" comics, for example one in which Art said that the smoke in Manhattan smelled just like Vladek said the smoke in the concentration camps smelled. Also he often turns himself into a mouse on the fly.
It was published by the German newspaper "Die Zeit" after Spiegelman was unable to secure publication in any major American outlet. In Britain, excerpts have been published in "The Independent".
In 2004, the entire series of ten strips and a supplement of reprints of turn-of-the-century comics such as The Katzenjammer Kids and The Yellow Kid were printed together as a book. A segment also appeared in 2004 as part of the Actus Tragicus comics album "Dead Herring Comics".
