'''''In the Shadow of No Towers''''' is a 2004 work of comics by American cartoonist [[Art Spiegelman]]. It is about Spiegelman's reaction to the [[September 11 attacks]] on the World Trade Center in 2001. It was originally serialized as a comic strip in the German newspaper {{lang|de|[[Die Zeit]]}} from 2002 until 2004, and was collected as an oversized [[board book]] in 2004 with early American comic strips as supplementary material.
'''''In the Shadow of No Towers''''' is a [[comic]] by [[Pulitzer Prize]]-winning graphic artist [[Art Spiegelman]].
 
In 2011, [[Mode Records]] released a 5.1 multichannel DVD recording (Mode 236) of Spiegelman's book, including some of his text and artwork in the booklet, with music by [[Marco Cappelli]], and narration by [[John Turturro]] and [[Enzo Salomone]].
 
==Overview==
The comicbook evolved from Spiegelman's experiences during the [[September 11 terrorist attacks]]. Spiegelman has said that the comicbook iswas a way to reclaim himself from the [[post-traumatic stress disorder]] he suffered after the attacks.
 
It also has many references to Spiegelman's ''[[Maus]]'' comics, for example one in which Art said that the smoke in Manhattan smelled just like Vladek said the smoke in the concentration camps smelled. Also he often turns himself into a mouse on the fly.
 
It was published by the German newspaper ''{{lang|de|[[Die Zeit]]''}} after Spiegelman was unable to secure publication in any major American outlet. In Britain, excerpts have beenwere published in ''[[The Independent newspaper|The Independent]]''. The comic was serialised in full in the ''[[London Review of Books]]'' from March-September 2003. A segment also appeared in 2004 as part of the [[Actus Tragicus (comics collective)|Actus Tragicus]] comics album ''[[Dead Herring Comics]]''.
 
In 2004, the entire series of ten strips and a supplement of reprints of turn-of-the-20th-century comicscomic strips such as ''[[The Katzenjammer Kids]]'' and ''[[The Yellow Kid]]'' were collected and published together as a book by [[Viking Books]].
