I really didn’t get much out of the actual content of the book, that is the 10 or so one pagers that Mr. Spiegelman wrote about September 11 and the time following. I can see how they might have been useful and cathartic for him, but as a reader, I was left flat. The collection of comic snippets at the end were likewise almost useless, although the one that had to be rotated 180 degrees halfway through was at least novel.
