Chris Ware

Explores the life and career of cartoonist Art Spiegelman including the creation and ground-breaking impact of his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel MAUS.

A rare glimpse into the art and married life of two giants of autobiographical comics, Justin Green and Carol Tyler, who pioneered and set the bar for one of comics' most important genres.

A television experiment. Cartoonist Chris Ware teams up with his animator, John Kuramoto, to make a cartoon version of a true story. Jeff Potter tells the story to host Ira Glass: about an art project, a bunch of first-graders, and how being behind the camera can rob you of your humanity even if the camera's not real. Chris and John supply the visuals.

Animation based on the December 7, 2015 cover of The New Yorker by graphic novelist Chris Ware, with voice recording of a mother worrying about her reaction to daughter’s first make-up.
