With her husband, Art Spiegelman, Mouly founded the landmark magazine \u003cem\u003eRAW\u003c\/em\u003e, which showcased artists such as Ben Katchor, Chris Ware, Charles Burns and Sue Coe, and, along with Spiegelman's \u003cem\u003eMaus\u003c\/em\u003e, brought an avant-garde sensibility to the popular art form. As art editor of \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e since 1993, Mouly has remade the face of that venerable magazine with covers that capture the political and social upheavals of the last two decades, from the black-on-black cover after 9\/11 to the Obamas' pre-election fist-bump. And now, with TOON Books, Mouly is at the forefront of a new wave of comic-making for children.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on exclusive interviews with Mouly, Spiegelman and a pantheon of comics artists — including Dan Clowes, Anita Kunz and Bill Griffith — \u003cem\u003eIn Love With Art\u003c\/em\u003e is both the first book-length portrait of a female pioneer in a male-dominated industry and a rare, behind-the-scenes look at some of today’s most iconic images. Through the prism of an uncommonly successful relationship, the book tells the story of one of the most remarkable artistic transformations of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e'Jeet Heer more thoroughly and widely understands comics history and the perplexing binomial life of the cartoonist better than anyone who's not one. As well-versed in literature as he is in comics, he always gets at the peculiar, poetical texture of his subject not only by what he writes, but how he writes it—clearly, mellifluously, and beautifully. Our humble discipline is singularly lucky to have him telling its story.' —Chris Ware\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coach House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135288328432,"sku":"9781770563513","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770563513_p0.jpg?v=1763706353","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770563513","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
