Spiegelman is best known for his Pulitzer Prize–winning graphic novel, Maus (1986), but the comics cognoscenti laud him for a five-decade body of work that includes some of the most formally daring efforts the medium has seen. Based on a museum retrospective, this lavish coffee-table compilation encompasses Spiegelman’s 1970s commercial work (including Topps gum trading cards and stickers); book illustrations; New Yorker covers (including his acclaimed 9/11 tribute); and even a painted-glass window done for a New York City school. But his comics output is appropriately at the fore, from his late-1960s underground comics and his groundbreaking strips for his 1980s avant-garde magazine, Raw, to his recent nonfiction pieces for the New Yorker, including tributes to cartoonists Charles Schulz and Harvey Kurtzman. Combining brazen experimentation with lowbrow yuks, Spiegelman pulls off the hat trick of being simultaneously intelligent, graphically compelling, and entertaining. Maus did much to “legitimize” comics to the wider world, but this thoughtfully curated, elegantly presented volume is an even more convincing testament to the potential of the medium. --Gordon Flagg
Review
“A classic of a different kind – by which I mean that I am declaring it to be a classic right here and now – is Co-Mix, a "retrospective" of comics, graphics and "scraps" by Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer prize-winning author of Maus. Among the collectors' items gathered within are full-page reproductions of covers for Robert Crumb's Short Order Comix; a full-size insert of the long out of print Raw comic Two-Fisted Painters; and Spiegelman's peerlessly brilliant New Yorker strips about Maurice Sendak and – my favourite – Charles Schulz. The ultimate swank present for any completist Spiegelman fan.”—Guardian Graphic Books of the Year Review
"Exploring the breadth of his work, [Co-Mix] shows that, perhaps more than any other single artist, Spiegelman has energized the range of emotional possibility in comics."—San Francisco Weekly
“As [Co-Mix] makes clear, Spiegelman’s only true comics peer is Robert Crumb.” —The Montreal Gazette
"What’s refreshing about Co-Mix is the level to which it demonstrates Art’s diversity. While many retrospective publications like to show off just the one creative direction, this revels in the frenetic intellectual talent that produced the graphic novel’s finest example."—It's Nice That
