In the Shadow of No Towers is a book of “comix” (more intellectual comic strips) written and drawn by Art Spiegelman. I am remembering Sunday, September 9th. After Maus, Spiegelman worked for The New Yorker for over ten years, quitting in early 2002 after the September 11th attacks to work on a series of broadsheets entitled In the Shadow of No Towers. When I think of September 11th, 2001, I am thinking more of the days just before it. Art Spiegelman, In the Shadow of No Towers (New York: Pantheon, 2004). In no sense of the word a novel, Spiegelman's graphic memoir describes the trauma of witnessing the Twin Towers' destruction. So Art Spiegelman used IN THE SHADOW OF NO TOWERS as a sort of sequential art diary of his reactions to 9/11 and the World Trade Center attacks. The resulting book, “In the Shadow of No Towers,” (Pantheon, $20), is a brilliant, chaotic work, where Spiegelman's 24 large cardboard-backed panels take autobiographical events of Sept.
