Pantheon Graphic Library will publish a new edition of Art Spiegelman’s Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*! in November 2022. This will be the first time that the book, which Pantheon released in hardcover in 2008, will be available as a paperback, and it will feature new cover art. The first edition was released by Belier Press in 1977; the Pantheon editions have some additional material (see “Review: ‘Breakdowns‘”).
Breakdowns: Portrait of the Artist as a Young %@&*! is an autobiography of sorts, with sections about his youth, a reprint of his early underground comic Breakdowns, and an essay about the comics medium and how it has grown since the 1970s.
The new paperback edition will be released on November 29 and will have an MSRP of $25.00.
