New York: Pantheon Books, 1992. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Trade paperback. 144 p. Illustrations. Volume 2 only of the 2-volume set, profusely illus., some wear and soiling to covers. A unique and powerful tale of a Holocaust survivor seen through the art and words of his son, avant-garde cartoonist Art Spiegelman. Spiegelman won a special Pulitzer Prize and a Guggenheim fellowship for Maus. Art Spiegelman (born February 15, 1948) is an American cartoonist, editor, and comics advocate best known for his graphic novel Maus. From 1992 he spent a decade as contributing artist for The New Yorker, where he made several high-profile covers. Spiegelman began his career with the Topps bubblegum card company in the mid-1960s; there he co-created parodic series such as Wacky Packages in the 1960s and the Garbage Pail Kids in the 1980s. He gained prominence in the comix scene in the 1970s with short, experimental, and often autobiographical work. Spiegelman turned focus to the book-length Maus, about his relation with his father, a Holocaust survivor. The book depicts Germans as cats, Jews as mice, and ethnic Poles as pigs. It won a special Pulitzer Prize in 1992 and has gained a reputation as a pivotal work, responsible for bringing scholarly attention to the comics medium. More
Lanham, MD: University Press of America, Inc., 1999. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Hardcover. 2 volumes. Volume I has xvii, [1], 712, [6] pages. Volume II, vi, 713-1580, [6] pages. Illustrations. Notes and References. Chronological Listings of Important Events. Special Terms. Bibliography. Index. Inscription signed by the author on front flyleaf of Volume I. Publisher's ephemera laid in. Mr. Sprecher was the only assistant prosecutor to present cases against two defendants at the first Nuremberg trial, in which a court created by the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France indicted 24 of the most important captured leaders of Nazi Germany. Before the trial, one defendant hanged himself and another was considered too frail to stand trial. Three of the 22 tried were acquitted, 8 went to prison and the rest were executed. Mr. Sprecher became one of the few original prosecutors to go on to subsequent Nuremberg trials conducted by the United States in its zone of occupied Germany. At these 12 trials, Mr. Sprecher at different times led four different divisions of the American prosecution team and was top deputy to Telford Taylor, chief counsel. Mr. Sprecher's successful case against Baldur von Schirach, Hitler Youth leader from 1931 to 1940, involved arguing that the militarization of millions of youths, including rifle-shooting drills by 7,000 instructors, was "a central thread" of the Nazi conspiracy. In the other case Mr. Sprecher presented, he contended that Hans Fritzsche, a deputy to the propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, incited Germans by broadcasting lies on the radio. More
