Maus
New York: Pantheon Books, 1986.
First Hardcover Edition, First Printing. Original pictorial boards. Lacks the original slipcase. Minor shelf-wear to extremities and light softening to spine ends. Internally Fine. A very sharp, tight copy of the rare hardcover issue.
The definitive hardcover first printing of the work that transformed the graphic novel into a Pulitzer Prize-winning literary medium. This volume recounts Vladek Spiegelman's harrowing experiences in pre-war Poland and his eventual survival of the Holocaust, framed by the complex relationship between the author and his father in modern-day New York.
While lacking the publisher's slipcase, the book itself is in superior condition. The boards are bright and the binding is square. An essential cornerstone for any serious collection of 20th-century literature or graphic arts.
